Hi Martin,

I like the idea! It installs fine and the manual is ok for an alpha
alpha alpha version.

I cannot get any exiftool info out of the image after indexing. Should
this work out of the box?

Can you detect if exiftool is available on the system before falling
back to the included script?

Kind regards,


Michiel Roos
