[ANN} libEXIF v0.9

[Alex Tweedly]

EXIF Extraction library.

EXIF stands for Exchangeable Image File Format, the format used to store 
interchange information in photo files, particularly JPEGs though it is 
also used in TIFFs.  Most digital cameras now include EXIF information.

I've put the first (let's call it alpha :-) version of my EXIF extraction 
library up on RevOnline. (category Programming, or under my username 
alextweedly).

The stack is intended to be used as a library, but it  includes a "Test" 
button to try it out on your own photo files, and an "Info & help" button 
which will (some day) give real documentation. See the script under "Test" 
button for the essentials.

It can extract much of the EXIF information included in JPEG and TIFF 
files. I don't yet decode manufacturer specific "Makernote" info - I have 
the necessary information for a few manufacturers ready to code - but don't 
yet have it for Pentax *ist D (i.e. my own camera !!), so that's not top of 
the priority list.

I've tested it on a few hundred photos, from probably 20 different cameras 
- so I'm sure there are more crufty variations that it hasn't yet been 
tested against. I'd be grateful for any reports of misbehaviour or problems.

Now that I actually have something I think is worth sharing, I'll go start 
on my RunRev web page.

Thanks
