A newly-found toy for photoheads

[Origisaurus]

A current project of mine is to catalog several hundred digital photos, and include the date and time from the camera.  That metadata is included in all photo image files, but I couldn't see myself cutting and pasting it from say, Windoze Explorer (aka Exploder) screen shots, one item at a time.

What I hoped to find with google was a command-line thingy that would let me do something like "show metadata from *.jpg > myfile.txt"

What I found was a really extensive utility called "ExifPro"  which not only exports metadata nicely, but does many many things you may want to do with your pix.  A feature-rich gui.

It was developed by Michal Kowalski at Pac Bell circa 2000, and apparently he still maintains it. 

I found it here.  After a bit of googling.

I know that  The Gorn has been a photohead.  Maybe some others will be interested as well.

Thanks for the link.

I have taken quite a few pictures with my "dumb smartphone." It writes the GPS coordinates into the EXIF data of photos, so in theory, an image can be uploaded to some service and displayed alongside a map showing a tic mark of where the photo was taken.

EXIF is becoming a catchall for all types of image attributes.
