Software-update: ExifTool 12.76

Phil Harvey heeft versies 12.75 en 12.76 van ExifTool uitgebracht. ExifTool is een gratis en crossplatformprogramma waarmee de metadata van een groot aantal bestanden kan worden beheerd en bewerkt. Het werkt vanaf de commandline, maar er zijn oplossingen van derden beschikbaar waardoor het ook met een grafische gebruikersinterface kan worden gebruikt. Met enige regelmaat verschijnen er nieuwe versies, maar de meeste uitgaven worden onder de bètavlag beschikbaar gesteld, versie 12.76 is echter een stabiele uitgave. Sinds versie 12.74 zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:

Changes in version 12.76:

Properly implement patch of 12.45 to avoid duplicating raw data when writing Sony ARW images where the raw data is double-referenced as both strips and tilesImproved handling of bad offsets in HtmlDump output
