This is a really elegantly simple solution and works perfectly except that you may experience an increase in file size unless you set the JPEGQuality before you export. Running a 50.4K jpeg through exiftool to delete all metadata reduced the file size to 39.4K. Importing that 50.4K image as a control in Livecode and exporting a snapshot resulted in a file size of 140.2K. Setting the JPEGQuality to 75 prior to export results in a file size of 40.6K. Exiftool is available for all platforms as a gui and cli tool, for those interested. As a cli tool, it can be use with Livecode's 'shell()' to return exif data as well as write/edit/delete it. http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ Warren _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
