Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / January 2007Good EXIF Browser?
I've been using EXIF Reader to get detailed info on pics I've taken but I'm looking for something more for browsing while pulling EXIF info as opposed to pulling up EXIF on a case-by-case basis. Are there any good free non-bloatware browsers with automatic EXIF reading and displaying capability?  SignaturePhil Adobe Bridge.

And in the most recent case the OP's post was lost and turned into a "sig" (which is why it doesn't appear here). You've been very obstinate on this point, but you should understand that there are newsgroup posting styles for a _reason_: clarity.

Signature separators are used in the following format: dash dash space; NOT dash space dash. That's for a good reason too. Newsreaders are programmed to identify signatures that way, and hence remove the subsequent text in replies to reduce clutter and save bandwidth. I see you are using Outlook Express, which although adequate is also seriously flawed as a newsreader. Most responsible types take to installing another piece of bolt-on software called 'OE-Quotefix' available FOC from here: http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix/ Just look at the problems inherent with Outlook Express as detailed by that software developer: "* Horribly broken quotes - line breaks in several wrong places! * OE basically forced the poster to do a top-post, because the signature was inserted at the top and the cursor is always positioned there, too. * Signatures were not stripped automatically on reply. They would have to be deleted manually! * Signatures are not RFC compliant - no space after the dashes! * Empty lines at the end of the message were quoted. * The attribution lines are too long and cannot be modified for a 'personal touch'. Email headers are even worse! * Line breaks missing between the signature and the quoted message." So, it's not just Alan! :-p In article <45b7224a$0$7951$5a62ac22@per-qv1-newsreader-01.iinet.net.au>, > Alan YOU have a problem. YOUR newsreader is broken. Not MINE. Microsoft doesn't give a damn about newsgroups and doesn't carry Usenet in its MSN. Try this patch: http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix/ Even the most aggressive defender of OE used it.

I strongly disagree. This has nothing to do with M$, OE, or Usenet. No such patch is needed, because it is incumbent on the Human to tell the computer what to do.

There are, believe it or not, Big Eight groups where top posting is the convention (rec.arts.scrapbooks, if I remember correctly). The average new Usenet poster doesn't know that the news program isn't doing the right thing automatically. Having the patch makes it easy to understand that (a) it's a problem; (b) it can be fixed without having to remember to move the cursor every time. People who've had the patch pointed out to them are more likely to start interleaving their replies than people who have bad mannered people ranting at them and strongly disagreeing with a person doing something that has in the past proven to be useful in getting OE top posters to use a different style. If you want to have someone to rant at, you're working at it just fine. >> In article >> <45b7224a$0$7951$5a62ac22@per-qv1-newsreader-01.iinet.net.au>, [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >newsgroup, requires that the Human place the reply so that it >follows the post.

Geez, some people. > My preference, when dealing with software that works against > my intentions, is to delete said software, and use something > else. That's nice. But it fails to solve the problem of people who are perfectly happy with OE and who don't realize that what it does is unconventional on most Usenet groups and who won't listen to rude people who want them to learn different software. The patch solves the problem and leaves them with the interface they are accustomed to. That there is a patch and that it has been downloaded whatever number of times is more likely to convince them that OE has a problem than a handful of people ranting at them on a Usenet group. Giving the person the url to the patch is going to solve the problem a lot faster than advising her to use a different program. If she's not interested in computer program, she doesn't want to try out programs until she finds one she can configure precisely to what she wants. I used to post with XEmacs and Gnus -- and I wouldn't recommend that to any Usenet poster who wasn't interested in playing with programs. I recommend the program I'm currently using to Mac users if they ask. >> My preference, when dealing with software that works against >> my intentions, is to delete said software, and use something [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > unconventional on most Usenet groups and who won't listen to rude people > who want them to learn different software. I don't know, I started with OE, still use it here at work, and never had a problem following the conventions of the newsgroups I read, i.e. snipping and replying in context rather than cluelessly top-posting. I see the patch mentioned but don't even know exactly what all it does.

This is usenet, not IRC or instant messaging. Who the hell rereads the quoted text after just reading the previous messages in the thread??? All that bottom posting does is waste the time of the reader because now he has to page down through the message to get to the new information. I understand the point of inline posting when someone wants to comment on one point after another. But the nerds who started the usenet bottom posting fascination are wasting all of our time. If there is no need for inline comments, the standard should have been to post the comments at the top. >> the Human to tell the computer what to do.

Agreed that the custom now is to bottom post and that it's best for consistency if we all do the same thing. I just wish I didn't have to page down constantly on my 15" screen to get to the new information. I have to admit that the vitriolic comments of the "top posting is evil" fanatics is enough to make me want to top post - if only in response to their postings and just to annoy them. :) These fanatics need to lighten up. > Certain folk's MMV. >> Perhaps, but it isn't.

I'm with you on that (as well as what else you wrote)- a virulent bottom poster am I, sometimes tempted to top post exactly for the reasons you cite. Well, on to better things, such as correcting spelling and grammar in posts which correct other's spelling or grammar. ... <s> Who knows, may even find a photo or camera discussion to participate in.

You don't know, at the time you post the first response, whether there will be further responses or not. Statistically, it's *VERY* likely that there will, so you might as well start at the bottom. > All that bottom posting does is waste the time of the reader > because now he has to page down through the message to get to the new > information. The news reader I use allows the person replying to snip all except what's being replied to and sets my reply on the bottom of that. Editing out what's not being replied to helps tremendously. What some of us forget is that it takes a big of mental training to learn how to read interleaved replies. It's worth it to do, but it's not as transparent as some of those who are used to it would like to insist that it is. > > All that bottom posting does is waste the time of the reader > > because now he has to page down through the message to get to the new [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > not as transparent as some of those who are used to it would like to > insist that it is. One thing that helps me with the interleaved replies is that I have configured this newsreader to display the quoted text in a different color (light grey) which helps to make the new text in standard black jump off the page. > One thing that helps me with the interleaved replies is that I have > configured this newsreader to display the quoted text in a different > color (light grey) which helps to make the new text in standard black > jump off the page.

I've never had difficulty with it -- assuming that the newsreaders properly insert the quote markers. However -- I suspect that the color keying is aimed at converting those who would rather fight than interleave. > Gnus used a rainbow of colors which made levels of quotes quite > interesting but sometimes unreadable due to the colors.

When this group started, you, yourself published the charter and guidelines which said three lines to a sig. When I pointed out your defiance of the "guidelines", instead of reducing your sig... You changed the bloody guidelines! How bombastic can you get? Top posting is a valid way of getting your message to the reader who is capable of following a thread. Outlook Express catalogues threads so they are chronology arranged and way easier to follow when everyone top posts than your mangled bottom posts where you force people to go over what they have already read in prior messages just to get to your one liner of irrelevant drivel. The message being replied to is included as a footer for reference. A logical and concise way to present message. Stop chastising other for having a different opinion to you and the world will be a better place. Although knowing you, hell will freeze over first.

Unfortunately none of the screen shots on the website show the view that I found most useful, where you could view a listing of images in a folder and the exif data strung out in columns for each image (just like a "details" view of files in Windows Explorer). Columns were freely (de)selectable for inclusion and you could sort on any column so, for example, you could sort photos by focal length or ISO. > I've been using EXIF Reader to get detailed info on pics I've taken but I'm > looking for something more for browsing while pulling EXIF info as opposed > to pulling up EXIF on a case-by-case basis.

ViewEXIF http://ak.no-ip.com/EXIF/index_en.htm (this is an extention to IE6 so you can "right click" on an image within IE to view the exif info). cheers adrian www.boliston.co.uk > I've been using EXIF Reader to get detailed info on pics I've taken but I'm > looking for something more for browsing while pulling EXIF info as opposed > to pulling up EXIF on a case-by-case basis. Are there any good free > non-bloatware browsers with automatic EXIF reading and displaying > capability? I have Irfanview (free) set up to read a custom list of a few critical settings at the top of the screen in full screen mode... it's a great tool for culling. Type 'I' then 'E' to get the full exif list. The CS2 raw converter does something similar with lens, shutter, aperture & ISO on the title bar. >I've been using EXIF Reader to get detailed info on pics I've taken but I'm >looking for something more for browsing while pulling EXIF info as opposed >to pulling up EXIF on a case-by-case basis.

If you have (or can get) the images on a web site, you can use: http://www.posted-online.com/exif/exify.cgi which automatically displays exif information for every image on a web-site. If a page links to exify.cgi, clicking on the link gives you the exif information for all the images from that page. For each image, you get a nice floating box with three tabs: a tiny thumbnail, "some" exif info (mostly exposure), and all the exif info. I don't know how well it works with very complicated pages that use lots of javascript or other methods to display images, but I've found exify to be pretty useful.

Are there any good free >non-bloatware browsers with automatic EXIF reading and displaying >capability? Sorry to repeat myself. It turns out there are more convenient links to use than the ones I just posted. They are: http://exify.posted-online.com/ (Link to that to get exif info about all the images on any web page.) And: http://exif.posted-online.com has a user interface to exify and more information. For example, the link: <a href="http://exify.posted-online.com>Get EXIF data.</a> from a web page displays exif data about all the images on the web page. -Joel |
