Dignan carpal tunnel Registered: 08/03/2000 Posts: 12320 Loc: Sterling, VA	I'm looking for some EXIF tools (or just one tool) for either just viewing the EXIF data for a bunch of files at once, or also doing some batch editing. For example, I've had my new camera for a month, and for some reason the month was incorrect on it. But I don't know how to go through and edit all the data. edit Oh, and free. Yeah, that would be nice Edited by Dignan (18/07/2006 00:49) _________________________ Matt

Current v. 8.0 is good, imho, and faster than previous 7 and 6, which ended up being terribly slow due to the local dbase management they used. _________________________ = Taym = MK2a #040103216 * 100Gb All/Colors Radio * 3.0a11 * Hijack = taympeg

Small, fast, does basic editing/resizing etc. Never crashes. Hmmm.... I now see you mentioned the word "batch"... That it does not seem capable of...

Sorry The website does mention Batch Processing. Probably a good time to look at the manual (if there is one?). The real killer question though is if the Batch Processing Macro can include actions from a Plugin (seeing as the Exif functionality is a Plugin). Personally, I would use a Perl Script to do that kind of thing in a batch. I'm sure a bit of Googling would find some Exif tag editing scripts about which you may be able to modify into something useful. Of course you may need to know a bit of Perl to start with.

Dignan carpal tunnel Registered: 08/03/2000 Posts: 12320 Loc: Sterling, VA	Thanks, I'll give Irfanview a look. I've used it quite a bit in the past to do batch resizing for the web, but I'll see if it can do as much for EXIF data. _________________________ Matt

hybrid8 carpal tunnel Registered: 12/11/2001 Posts: 7738 Loc: Toronto, CANADA	For Windows I used to use a program called "Exifer" - I'm not sure if it's still maintained. I also just found Exif Tool (done in perl) which sounds pretty complete: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ (you'll need to install perl but there's a link for a Windows distribution on the page). _________________________ Bruno Twisted Melon : Fine Mac OS Software
