Little script to add date caption to photos from their EXIF data.

Notes on Exif data

There is ExifRead or Exif which can also modify exif data (and is tested and documented).

Both seem to be alive but ExifRead should suffice.

with open(file, 'rb') as f:
    # Don’t process makernote tags, don’t extract the thumbnail image (if any)
    tags = exif.process_file(f, details=False)
for tag in tags.keys():
    if tag not in ('JPEGThumbnail', 'TIFFThumbnail', 'Filename', 'EXIF MakerNote'):

Interesting keys (to be completed by further observations):

Image Orientation
Image DateTime
EXIF DateTimeOriginal
EXIF DateTimeDigitized
EXIF ExifImageWidth
EXIF ExifImageLength
