Hey puddin, turns out you don't really need an external EXIF viewer... that capability is already built into the Microsoft OS (but we already knew that, right
).
The steps shown below only work if the "original" picture file "actually" contains EXIF data.For "limited" EXIF data:
Open Windows Explorer, then:
In
XP, hover the mouse pointer over the picture file name and the Date/Time taken and Camera info will appear.
In
Vista, hover the mouse pointer over the picture file name and only the Date taken info will appear.
In
Windows 7, hovering the mouse doesn't do anything, rather, click-once on the picture file name and the Date taken info will appear at the bottom of the window. (Interesting, it even allows you to change the date).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For FULL EXIF data do the following:
Open Windows Explorer, then:
In
XP, right-click the file, click Properties -> Summary -> Advanced
in
Vista, right-click the file, click Properties -> Details
in
Windows 7, right-click the file, click Properties -> Details
And yes, an external EXIF viewer would do multiple file quicker... but that's not the point...
