Reading "Image/Picture taken" information from imagefiles on disk
-
Hi everyone. I've written a small app to help my wife rename her thousands of images. She used to do it by hand 0.o. Anyhow, the app seemed to work just as it should, until we noticed that I had programmed it to check on creation date, and not on "image / picture taken" date. So when she retrieves the images from the camera they all get current date. I've noticed that when I browse pictures with win XP, there's a column called "Picture or Image taken". (I've got it in norwegian, so I'm not sure what it says in english). Does anyone know how to extract this data? Which class / methods to use to get the "Picture taken" date. Big thanx in advance! -Larantz-

Thanx for the reply. I'll check it out as soon as i get back from work. Hope the "date time" field returned from this class is the "picture taken" property I'm after, and not just creation time. *fingers crossed* -Larantz-
If your camera's like my camera, I'm pretty sure it is :)
