************************** * EXIF-Info v0.9.4 * ************************** (c) 2005-2007 by Thomas Nolte http://www.thono.com/ E-Mail: thomas@thono.com THIS PROGRAM IS FREEWARE AND CAN BE DISTRIBUTED WITHOUT ANY RESTRICTION. NOT ALLOWED ARE ANY CHANGES TO THE PROGRAM CODE OR TO THE ATTACHED FILES. Introducion =========== What is "EXIF-Info"? -------------------- "EXIF-Info" is a little tool to show EXIF data of JPG files. How does the program work? -------------------------- With the REXX DLL RXEXIF.DLL (*) the program can read EXIF data from JPG files. The correlation from EXIF codes to readable notation happens with help of the file EXIF.DAT. Version history --------------- v0.9.0 : First released vrsion + Drag&Drop window + EXIF data in seperate window + saving of window position in own INI file v0.9.1 : Little enhancements in drag & drop functionality + Drag&Drop now working correctly with PMView (Pro) + file extension .JPEG also accepted v0.9.2 : Enhancements to the EXIF data window + saving of EXIF data now possible v0.9.3 : Problem with saving on files without EXIF data fixed v0.9.4 : Fixed some problems while showing EXIF data + Now show EXIF data in full length + Horizontal scroll bar in view window Known problems... ----------------- Unfrequently the programm crashes after first drop of a file. If this happens there is no entry in the file POPUPLOG.OS2. The future? ----------- This is a very simple tool to show EXIF data. At this moment I don't plan big enhancements to the program. The intention of the program is not to show pictures nor manipulate data. Installation ============ PMEXIF_E.EXE is a self-extracting file, packed with RAR/2. For example, you can extract it in a new or empty directory. After extracting you see the following files: INSTALL.CMD --> the install script PMEXIF.EXE --> the program himself PMEXIF.ICO --> a icon for the program USRCTL32.DLL --> DLL for special controls in the program RXEXIF.DLL --> the REXX EXIF DLL (*) EXIF.DAT --> this file contains EXIF codes README.TXT --> this file With the script INSTALL.CMD you can create a icon on your desktop. The program does not make any entrys in the OS2.INI or OS2SYS.INI. The file RXEXIF.DLL must be placed in the LIBPATH or in the program directory. Without the file EXIF.DAT the program can only show EXIF codes (see http://www.exif.org/). To change the codes to readable notations the file EXIF.DAT is neccesary in the program directory. The newest version of this 2 files can be found on the authors homepage (*). To show all controls correctly, the file USRCTL32.DLL must be placed in the program directory or in the LIBPATH. (*) This application uses RXEXIF.DLL provided by Lone Peak Automation, LLC. For more information see http://home.att.net/~LPAInfo Handling ======== After starting the program you see a litte window ('D&D') in the left lower site on the desktop. Now you can drag any file over this window. If the program recognize a JPG file you can drop it to the window. The program is searching for EXIF data and will show these in a seperate window. The EXIF data can be saved in a file called ".EXIF". To do this you must click on the button "Save EXIF data". With right click in the D&D window you can show the program information or close the program. You can move the window to any other place on the desktop. After closing all positions will be saved.
