I’m sure you’ve tried the following, but in case you haven’t: * investigate mmapping each file into memory and use a version of the API that takes NSData/CFData instead of a file/URL to get the EXIF information. * if the files are indexed by Spotlight, can you get the EXIF information from a NSMetadataQuery search?
