Jesper, <BR>
<BR>
Great news, as you know I've been waiting for EXIF for a while. I want to try it out, so I got a copy from SVN but I couldn't get it to work. I see the "Show EXIF" option but regardless of wheter is selected or not I do not see any EXIF on the viewer and I don't see how to open up the additional dialog. I also don't see in the preferences any way to configure the EXIF display. Maybe I didn't get the right version from SVN ...<BR>
<BR>
BTW, I noticed that you adopted the standard location and naming for thumbnails. I think this is great, it will greatly simplify the symbolic links algorithm for archiving, but I think it will be nice to be able to keep the old style thumbnails for offline images. The "Images not on Disk" feature (which I think is really important) now shows empty thumbnails, clearly you can not generate new thumbnails for absent images, so I suggest for those images keep the old style thumbnail. Just a thought ...<BR>
<BR>
Great work, <BR>
<BR>
Benny<BR>
