Many users ask me to add support for EXIF write.
Why only read support for EXIF and read/write support for others ?
EXIF is very common.
It would be hard?
Could someone that is more familiar with metadata handling functions from FreeImage give at least a starting point ?
Thanks
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I patched the sources to let me copy the raw exif profile from the source image.
This does work only if the last jpeg image opened is the first to be saved.
If someone needs my patch I can put it here.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Although Exif is quite common for JPEG images, writing Exif metadata is very complex and it's impossible to write makernotes metadata (no specification).
See ExifTools at http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
for a good metadata handling solution.

The current CVS version already contains write support for EXIF by using
FIMD_EXIF_RAW. Obtain the latest files from the CVS.
My patch is not needed anymore. It did the same: saved the raw EXIF.

Dear Sabo,
Is the patch still available now? Would you please tell me where I can get it?
Thanks in advance!

I got it, thank you!
Looking forward to next release.
