EXIFRead library (help needed for translating)

[boddhi]

Hello everybody !!

Voilà, I've developped a library reading tags from some markers (APP0, APP1's IFD0, IFD1, SUBIFD, and GPS) and conditionaly writing few (very few) tags of a jpeg image.
My wish is to share it with all.

But, at this time, variables names, descriptions, docs are always in french.
I've started to translate them in english but, like you've problably already noted it, my english isn't very rich and that has like effect to stunt it.

An example of translation start, stopped at version 1.20 (nowadays version 1.23)

Purpose :

The purpose of this library is to allow the reading (and some writing) of markers IFDO, IFD1, SUBIFD and GPS EXIF's fields of a JPEG image.
The access to these datas is done by a structured variable in which each field contains, when it's possible, its value and its informative translation.

This library is available in french and english.

I've tried, according to available documentation, and as well as possible, to recover and translate into data the maximum of these fields. However, if you note an anomaly or mistranslation, if you have any suggestions, if you wish an localized version, don't hesitate to contact me.

This library is freeware. You'll use it at your own risk ).

P.S: Sorry for my english but it's not my native language.

I have tried the example code in PB 5.2 (2013) and it complains that I am missing a resource. I can't read the documents as they are in French but they look good.

I found some VB code that works in ms-access. Given that it is all basic, it might be easy to translate into PB.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/exifclass/

To get the code working in ms-access see instructions on http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/exif-d ... 17878.html. It would help to see things working in that environment prior to translating anything.
