Hi,
First my compliment for this program, easy layout, all needed features, small footprint, in short create program!
Found one issue I can't seam to find a solution for though, whenever I select the "Size maximum" option when creating a "Web page layout" I can not get any EXIF information (Date created for example) to be displayed for either the Thumbnails or regular pictures (the EXIF data is in the original picture).
However unselecting the "Size maximum" option will make the EXIF data show up!
Am I wrong in assuming that the EXIF data should be displayed either way?
Thanks, JDH

Workaround
There is relatively simple workaround.
1) use XnView's "Tools|Batch convert" to Resize images before the Web page generation (JPEG option "Keep EXIF data" have to be checked and the "Keep original date/time attributes" should be checked too).
2) then generate web page layout from resulting shrinked images with "size maximum" unchecked.

OR
--
1) generate web layout with "size maximum" checked and set up to desired values (this step shrinks original image files and unfortunately removes EXIF metadata)
2) backup resulting shrinked image files from the 'original' directory to some safe place
3) replace all shrinked images in the 'original' directory with your original full size ones (containing EXIF info)
4) set read-only attribute for these image files (next XnView Web page layout generation cannot replace these files - it's intended)
5) once more, generate web layout with "size maximum" checked (Press Enter during generation process whenever warned that XnView cannot rewrite the read-only file)
6)
-a) let the result as-is (full size original images are resized only virtually by client's web browser thanks to HTML IMG 'width' and 'height' attributes
OR
-b) replace full size images with those shrinked (backed up) ones (step 2)
