Some images, especially from digital cameras, have a lot of embedded information. Here is an example (and no, I don't own any iCrap - this is not one of my photos):

The attached viewer shows this info in a console window. I checked it partly with Jeffrey's Image Metadata Viewer.

I also noticed that my version of Paint Shop Pro eliminates all this information mercilessly when saving a photo :(

You can drag a list of photos over the exe, or start it standalone in a folder with files in jpg, gif or png format. Cursor left/right scrolls through the images. The second attachment, proptags.lst, must be in the same folder, unless you have VC Express 2010 installed (in that case, the main exe will generate the list).

JJ,

I get a fatal error when trying to execute the EXE file.

"Could not open"

"for Recall, FileRead$ etc.."

I downloaded both files and unzipped them in the same directory.

[jj2007]

It needs images. Either you drag them over the exe from some folder, or you put them into the folder.

[TWell]

Least one picture to start?

[jj2007]

Your wish is my command 8)

[avcaballero]

It can load a jpg but not a gif. Fortunately I'm the unique with this behaviour. I get somethig like this:

## Line 26: image could not be loaded ##

What encodes your OS give ?

Here are mine. They are all identical: the built-in GDI+ encoders. Question is really why caballero's GIF encoder doesn't work.

Well, I'd say that my gifencoder does work (I can see that in in ie, for example), perhaps it's all that I don't have masmbasic installed.

Mine works fine on a drive where MasmBasic is not installed. IE may have its own decoder.

Did you ever write code with GdipCreateBitmapFromFile or GdipCreateBitmapFromStream and use it with GIFs?

Tim uses GdipLoadImageFromFile, while I load the file into memory and then use GdipCreateBitmapFromStream, the reason being that you can't modify and save an image that was loaded with GdipLoadImageFromFile.

Your example gives me Error 3, OutOfMemory

> JJ
No, I haven't ever written such codes. I only use gdi, so only manage bmp

[jj2007]

> Twell
Your example gives me Error 3, OutOfMemory

I get no error, but if I a take an arbitrary little text file and name it test1.gif, Tim's proggie gives me error 3, too.

Attached a version that uses only embedded images, starting with a tiff, then a jpg, the rest are GIFs. I've also refined the error message, it now reports the true gdistatus message.

[HSE]

Perfect here. No problem with Tim's test1.gif
