Greg TagLibCSharp is convenient* - and I think I did post here about that, in the past 1-2 months - but something that I have used (and might appeal to you) is to extend Microsoft's free Photo Tools v2.2 in the way that this article <http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/43266/Reading-and-Writing-Photo-Metadat a-Programmaticall> shows (very simple use of its DLL).
I have located Microsoft Pro Photo Tools v2.2 for you, here <http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13518> . * I was unhappy with its ability to handle video files. _____ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Greg Keogh Sent: Saturday, December 29, 2012 11:33 AM To: ozDotNet Subject: Re: Image Exif updating Katherine, Ben, I've never run an upgrade, I always fresh install. That's why an Xmas "upgrade" takes so many days of sweat and swearing. I'm pretty confident that all of the apps, kits and tools that I use will run fine under Win8 (they seem okay in VMPlayer), except for the damned nuisance of vdproj files not being supported under VS2012. I was going okay with using WiX as a replacement, but I got stuck on two things: (1) IIS setup (2) Custom dialogs. It will take many more hours of study and experiments to overcome these issues. Ian, I found lots of libraries for reading EXIF data but none for updating. I can't remember being involved in a thread on this topic before. The code I found that may do what I want using encoders is just too much bother for my modest needs. I guess it's just another case of something that seems superficially simple, really isn't. Greg
