More EXIF information

LibertyToad · 2008-01-31 02:29

Hi,

This is a great program. Have you considered adding support for full digital photo EXIF information (and maybe DNG image format support)? There aren't very many re-namers that support full EXIF info and I've never seen any that support DNG. This would make Renamer much more useful for photographers.

Thanks.

Thanks, LibertyToad

Regarding your question... What do you mean by "adding support for full digital photo EXIF" ? ReNamer already has support for EXIF in JPEG and some TIFF tags, through so called "meta tags" which can be accessed via Insert rule. To retrieve these tags, I use 3-rd party libraries, which are limited in terms of functionality. DNG's are in the same boat - I can add support for them, if only I can find some open-source libraries for Delphi, which I couldn't find by this day.

Nevertheless, you might be able to incorporate into ReNamer some other tools which can parse DNG tags. Have a look at these topics: PDF tags, Date and Time from RAW images - they describe how to use 3-rd party command line tools inside ReNamer.

I just looked at the Exiv2 tool used in Date and Time from RAW images topic, and guess what?! It can parse DNG tags

Just another user here that would like the ability to get various EXIF information from the photo such as the shutter release number.

I can add any of these extra EXIF tags:

ExposureTime=1/8
FNumber=26/10
ExposureBiasValue=0/3
MaxApertureValue=28/10
FocalLength=580/100

Are they any use? Also, please advise on the alternative name for the needed tags...
