Would it be possible to include exif info for images (assuming poster hasn't stripped it from his/her images)? I am sure others besides me would find this a useful inclusion.
As a workaround, I am able to copy my EXIF data via IrfanView (free photo software) to the clipboard. From the clipboard I copy & paste the EXIF data to MS Word. Then to extract the lines I want I use this VBA code. Then I can copy & paste that into a DPRevived post (that would be the six lines). I don't copy & paste the first line (number 1) because that is just the filename which helps identify it.
Sub EXIFData()
Dim A As Integer
Dim vardata
vardata = Array(1, 3, 13, 14, 16, 27, 47)
For A = 0 To 6
ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(vardata(A)).Range.Copy
Set myRange = ActiveDocument.Range _ (Start:=ActiveDocument.Content.End - 1, _ End:=ActiveDocument.Content.End - 1)
myRange.Paste
Next A
End Sub
I also wrote additional code to be able to do this quickly with multiple sets of EXIF data. I wrote more about it on the Canon APS-C forum under "Photo Test" if you are interested.
I don't know if there's more "workarounds" but that is what worked for me. There's probably dozens of different ways. If anyone can share their ideas, that would be great.
Can you elaborate? What do you mean by dragging an image to a shortcut? What is the shortcut? What is the simple EXIFTOOL command? Can you develop something and test it and give us details as I have done? What software would we use to accomplish that? For me, it was because I was using IrfanView (free photo software) and I had MS Word. The combination made it easy. But I'm not familiar with what you describe. I find it interesting and like to know what others do. There's always another way. :-) Thanks.
Once the photo is "open", I'm able to use sharesheet of an iPhone/iPad to read the EXIF. I used ViewExif, but all of the EXIF utilities I have installed are available.
Thanks. So what you are seeing might be similar to what I see in IrfanView (which is the extensive EXIF data). As a "workaround" how are you able to copy & paste it next to your image when posting it here on DPRevived? Or are you manually typing it in?
I don't as a matter of practice share that data here (unless relevant) but it's available for you to look at. I do have an iOS Shortcut (rough, but servicable) that I created that formats and copies some of the EXIF data to the clipboard so that it can be pasted.
Oh, I see...it's a custom program that you made. Yes, with MS Word VBA code I was able to select the EXIF data lines 1, 3, 13, 14, 16, 27, and 47 and put it at the bottom of the MS Word document. I was just sharing my code for everyone because sometimes people could find it useful or give them ideas with their own software. I could select other lines of data too. I just picked those ones that are important to me. I tested it with three and five images and it worked very well. Soon, DPRevived may fix this, but meanwhile we have our "workarounds".
