Oh, that's good. I hadn't looked at PIL for a long while and wasn't aware it did that. > If you want to > save EXIF and IPTC information to files you need python-pyexiv2.

Thanks for the confirmation Stani : as I suspected, this means exiv2 is (deliberately ?) not end-user-ready for Windows (as in, download, install and configure). I have Googled around a bit but there doesn't seem to be anyone supplying a ready-made binary lib. Too bad. > But... Phatch is designed with flexibility in mind.

EXIF/IPTC were fashionable in python circles some years ago but apart from a long-dead sourceforge project and a couple of read-only modules, nothing really came out of it. In fact, I was coincidentally searching for just such a thing when I came across a pointer to Phatch, a few days before you announced it here... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
