Certain software (e.g. iView Media Pro and Microsoft Expression Media) had/have a bug that eliminates the EXIF Image Creation Date from the file whenever it does a 'jpeg rotate'. No image date in the EXIF leads to subsequent process problems like not being able to use that string in the file naming process or sorting or searching.

This software does 99% of what it says it does, but it cannot add an image creation date if there is not one in the jpeg file already. I wish I knew why this is a problem to developers, its a pain in the.... to photographers.

Otherwise, this is a very nice piece of work.

Thanks,

JF

My belief is that this is not an application bug, but a QuickTime bug. iPhoto exhibits the same problem when rotating images.
