EXIF Properties, .Net and Digital Image Library

Hi,

I'm in the process of developing an app to scan and archive photos
based upon the EXIF/Photo Keyword property. One of the requirements
is
that the Photo's keywords be editable via Digital Image Suite 2006
Library . Then the app will look for a specific keyword, change the
keyword to indicate the photo has been scanned and move a copy to the
archive area.
Here's the problem. I can successfully load a jpeg into an image
object, copy it to another image object, change the properties, save
the copy to a temp file, delete the original and rename the temp file
to the original file name, preserving the image and the keyword
changes.
Using the Explorer File Properties dialog I can verify the keyword
property has been changed, but Digital Image Suite doesn't recognize
the change. In the File Properties Dialog I can change any property,
'Apply' the changes and Digital Image Suite recognizes the changes.
So.....
The app under development can see changes made with either Digital
Image Suite or the File Properties Dialog.
The File Properties Dialog can see the changes made with either
Digital Image Suite or my app.
Digital Image Suite can ONLY see changes made with the File
Properties
Dialog.
Does anyone know what's going on with Digital Image Suite and why it
can't see the changes?
Any help or information on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gary

Perhaps it (DIS) is reading only the IPTC data, but writing both IPTC and
EXIF data? If you open the before and after files in a text editor, it
should be quite easy to see what has been changed.

Hi I was wandering if anyone knew if it was possible to add custom EXIF tags (such as Photographer and Title) to a JPEG image, or to modify the existing tags (such as ImageDescription). There is an extremely good article on Code Project for reading these tags, but I cannot find any information on how to modify them: http://www.codeproject.com/cs/media/photoproperties.asp

Hi, am having trouble extracting the Makernote contained in the EXIF data in a JPEG image from a digital camera.

I have seen the makernote information for different camera makes, such as Canon and Nikon (eg. http://www.burren.cx/david/canon.html), but I cannot seem to work...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to write up a simple image stamper application that stamps the Exif date information from the jpegs that I've taken from my digital camera and saves the new file with the date stamped on the lower right part of the picture.

I'd like to think I can work out most issues, but this one is kicking my butt. What's worse, is that I know I can't be the first guy to want to add a thumbnail to jpg that doesn't already have one. I see it in plenty of other applications. Yet I can't seem to make it work despite being so very close. I know the problem has to be in how I am making the PropertyItem of the thumbnail - because if I comment out lines 24-34 the JPG saves fine,...
