since it has basically nothing to do with cf at all, you could do it the "raw" way and look up the EXIF specification, which is -afaik- used to store this information, and read the needed info via cffile (as binary). i just opened a .jpg file and found the exif header plus the information youre looking for in the first 80 bytes or so. the image title, author and so on is obviously saved as multibyte.
so from what ive seen it looks pretty straightforward and if you look up the exact format specification i guess you could easily extract your needed info manually. regards dominik > I am trying to figure out if it is possible to read the "date picture > taken" of a picture in CF8.
