Thanks. I've updated my list to include yours. I'll post it separately so as
not to confuse.

Hi wasbit,
People who share, like you do, and improve, like you do, are those few
who make this Usenet potluck so wonderful.

I, like you, strive to add value in each post, for all to revel in & share.

Here's a quick "log file" I wrote while installing on Windows, ExifToolGui.
1. Download the exiftool command-line executable from the canonical site:
http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
2. Save to your standard software archive hierarchy (where is up to you):
c:\software\editor\exif\exiftool\exiftool-11.65.zip
3. Download the ExifToolGui from the canonical site:
http://u88.n24.queensu.ca/~bogdan/exiftoolgui516.zip
4. Save to your standard software archive hierarchy (where is up to you):
c:\software\editor\exif\exiftoolgui\exiftoolgui516 .zip
5. Create an application installation location, as desired (where is up to you):
mkdir c:\apps\editors\exif\exiftool
6. Extract both archives into that single software installation location:
c:\apps\editors\exif\exiftool\jhead_jpegtran\
c:\apps\editors\exif\exiftool\workspace\
c:\apps\editors\exif\exiftool\exiftool(-k).exe
c:\apps\editors\exif\exiftool\ExifToolGUI.exe
c:\apps\editors\exif\exiftool\ExifToolGUI_readme.t xt
Note: I kept them together; you can separate them (that's up to you).
7. Rename, copy (or move, your choice) the command-line tool to your $PATH:
copy exiftool(-k).exe C:\Windows\System32\exiftool.exe
(Or, modify your $PATH as you see fit, to point to the app location.)
Note ExifToolGui expects the name "exiftool.exe" [i.e., sans "(-k)"].
8. Create a shortcut to the ExifToolGui.exe
and right-click that shortcut to "Send-To" your WinXP style cascade menu
StartMenu: editors exif exiftool exifToolGUI.lnk
TARGET = C:\app\editor\exif\exiftool\ExifToolGUI.exe
STARTIN = C:\app\editor\exif\exiftool
9 Left-click your WinXP style native Win10 cascade menu you just added:
StartMenu: editors exif exiftool exifToolGUI.lnk
10. This creates the following 'ini' file if all works well sans error:
c:\apps\editors\exif\exiftool\ExifToolGUIv5.ini

Voila!
ExifToolGui is up and running on Windows.

I've not had time to follow all your leads but FYI the following are
commercial not freeware
GPStamper
Opanda Power EXIF Editor
PhotoSelector
Pic Poster
Y.A. Photos Date Stamper
