setexifdata A new version of SetEXIFData is now available:

v10.8
(25 Aug 2025)

New:
  • Converted text input for Document Name, Artist, Copyright, Filename pattern, and Camera- and Lensinfo into Combo-boxes, where the last 10 used entries will be saved.
  • To speed up startup, paths to the helper tools are now stored, and editable, in the 'Settings....' -> 'Various other settings'
  • In the Preview-window, you can now filter on EXIF tags, or their contents, to make it easier to check which ones are present.
  • Now also compiled for Linux and Windows.
Change:
  • All lists are modernized. With some, the dotted lines would disappear.
  • In the Preferences-window, under 'EXIF / IPTC / XMP Tags', the filter on tags has been modernized and improved.
  • Thumbnails of movie files are default taken at 4 seconds. Now, if a clip is shorter, a thumbnail at 0.5 second will be taken.
  • The default rename pattern has now been set to: '%d-%t-%x.%n', instead of underscores.
  • Changed the text 'Finder' into 'file', because of Linux and Windows versions.
  • The OS version in the 'About...' window now shows the complete name and version, instead of just a number.
  • Unknown tags under 'Other tags' are now printed in red.
  • Replaced the Paypal and Paddle buttons with a link to my webshop.
Fixed:
  • Thumbnails of files with single and/or double quotes in the name are now also generated.
  • Finding the path to the various utilities and not finding them, could result in storing the error message and stop further tries.
  • GPS coordinates are now written to movie files. In some cases this was not happening. Tested with .m4v, .mov, and .mp4
  • 'Save as preset' would sometimes use the name of another preset.
  • Get the correct mime type for files with no extension or with extensions like '.jpg_original' or '.mp4_original'.
  • Tabbing through the rows in 'Other tags' is now possible.
  • In 'Other tags', the repeated adding of '?' for unknown tags is fixed.
  • In 'Other tags', the info text above the table is now correctly displayed in full.
  • Image and movie files with '_original' added by exiftool to the file's extension, are now also recognized when dragged onto the grid.
