I sure hope they have support for Cocoa contextual menu plugins at some point.

The OS libraries have support for exif as of Tiger. Take a look at the docs for CGImageSource and CGImageDestination. So, no need to wrap exiftags if CF is more your style.

Interesting. Thanks. That may indeed be a better way to go. CMMs scare me, though - I signed on to Cocoa largely so I didn't ever have to look at code like the sample CMMs I've seen so far.

Path Finder includes EXIF info in its Info window (Cmd-i). You're already using Path Finder right? If not, you should be.

PathFinder is not my style, and it wouldn't help with displaying the EXIF info of an image in a browser window.

Hm, a friend and I have been working on small "micro-projects" on Obj-C. I'm on an iBook, and him on a MacBook, and we're both photographers. I'll pose this to him this weekend at our meeting and go from there. We'll see what we can do
