#1 Format exif values for display.

[Jason Pell]

Hi,

I had to to resort to using this javascript:

// Format: "2002:05:10 10:59:56"
function get_exif_date(datetime)
{
var re =
/^"([0-9]{4}):([0-9]{2}):([0-9]{2})\s([0-9]{2}):([0-9]{2}):([0-9]{2})"$/
if((matches = datetime.match(re)))
{
var year = matches[1];
var month = matches[2];
var day = matches[3];
var hours = matches[4];
var minutes = matches[5];
var seconds = matches[6];

return day+'/'+month+'/'+year+' '+hours+':'+minutes;
}
else
return "";
}

And this document.write:

<script
language="JavaScript">document.write(get_exif_date('%exif:datetime%'));
</script>

to get dates to display in a useable format.

It would be much nicer if you could provide a way to
manipulate these options. For example, what about a
format(%date%, 'DD/MM/YYYY') type format for the datetime.

Not sure how feasible this is.

Even apart from the difficulty to add such scripting
features to Exifgallery, it's hard to figure out all the
date formats that are used in different cameras...
