An excellent computer science study exercise would be to write something that will digest a large volume of digital capture images' EXIF data. I'd like a utility like this to
- store the significant bits of EXIF and IPTC data coordinated with file name and location for easy accessibility - possibly show a thumbnail of the image when the storage volume is on-line - allow editing captions, keywords, descriptions, copyright (IPTC basic data in other words) - present data about use habits: focal lengths, exposure modes, capture dates, exposure settings - display the above data in graphical or numerical form for ease of understanding And, for bonus points, design the code in a well-factored manner such that it is easily built with a platform-standard, quality GUI on the three most popular OS environments: Windows, Mac OS X, Linux. Much of the fundamental data access and analysis source is easily available to do the work here, the good part is to add some value to that source and show your stuff in the graphical analysis display, and design skills by allowing it to be used easily for multiple OS platform development.
