Just an aside,it worked fine with Net 2.0 here.

Hi Dave,

Your MetaEditor Windows freeware suggestion was wonderful! You proposed the
very first known Windows program (freeware or otherwise) which purports to
export and import Exif metadata to/from a text-editable file!

Unfortunately, MetaEditor only exports a subset of Exif metadata to that
text intermediary file.

For example, MetaData does not output the "Image Number" nor the "Owner
Name" nor the "Flash Mode", nor the "Focal Length", etc.

By way of comparison using a Canon PowerShot S500 jpeg, the following
metadata information was NOT exported by MetaEditor to a text-editable
file.
