jpeg header - 'Exif data' manipulate/extract

[hummingbird]

A small free command-line utility to manipulate/extract Exif data
held in jpeg pictures taken with digital cameras:

download: http://www.sentex.ca/~mwandel/jhead/jhead.exe

main page: http://www.sentex.ca/~mwandel/jhead/
"Things jhead can extract from an Exif jpeg file:
-Time and date picture was taken
-Camera make and model
-Integral low-res Exif thumbnail
-Shutter speed
-Camera F-stop number
-Flash used (yes/no)
-Distance camera was focused at
-Focal length and calculate 35 mm equivalent focal length
-Image resolution
-GPS info, if stored in image

Things jhead can modify in an exif jpeg file:
-Up-right images according to rotation tag using jpegtran
-Set or relative adjust internal exif timestamps
-Re-name or date stamp fils according to exif timestamp
-Transfer exif headers between images
-Replace thumbnails inside Exif headers
-Edit jpeg comments (but not the Exif comments)
-Delete exif or comment sections from jpeg images"

usage guide: http://www.sentex.ca/~mwandel/jhead/usage.html
"Jhead is a command line driven program for manipulating the non-image
parts of Exif flavour JPEG files that most digital cameras produce.
Windows/Mac users: Jhead has no Graphical User Interface. Clicking on
it with the mouse from Windows or Mac OS-X won't do anything for you
- you have to use it from the Command prompt (or DOS prompt under
Win95/98/Me)"

I've been playing with that recently. It works well and I know of
nothing else that does what it does.

I have used this one, with different Pentax and Olympus cameras. Great
program, IMHO.

Exifer for Windows V.2.1.5
<http://www.exifer.friedemann.info/>

Exifer is a nearly free software (you only should send me a postcard if
you're using Exifer frequently) with which you can manage the metadata
(EXIF/IPTC) of pictures taken by digital cameras.

Because many image processing software destroys this metadata when saving
such files, the idea was to create a backup of the metadata before editing
it in any software, and then, after that to restore it back into the
processed file. With Exifer you can do this very easily.

Features

* Supports EXIF (up to 2.2) and IPTC data in JPEG and TIFF files
* Reading and displaying of makernotes by Canon, Casio, Fuji, Minolta,
Nikon and Olympus
* Backing up, restoring and comparing metadata (EXIF/IPTC)
* Editing of metadata (for JPEG files only)
* Inserting EXIF data from THM files (for JPEG files only)
* Creating/inserting/rotating EXIF thumbnails (for JPEG files only)
* Customizeable view of metadata
* Export/import of metadata (CSV, Canto Cumulus, descript.ion files)
* Renaming and redating with various formats
* Lossless rotation (for JPEG files only)
* Cropping (with aspect ratio)
* Watermarks
* Slideshow
* Supports English and German language
* Runs under Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP (runs not under Windows 95)

This makes it a non-starter for me and some others.
Why such a simple program is written to need .NET is a puzzle.
