Exporting Exif-metadata of pictures with different Exif-tags

Bonsoir,

with XnView 1.94.2, when exporting Exif-metadata of several pictures which are using or omitting different Exif-tags, the output in the .csv-file get's screwed up.
It seems XnView reads the tag-names only from the first file it finds and expects tag-values from all following files to be available in exactly the same order like the first file, which isn't necessarily the case when using different cameras.

Thanks,

Andreas

Right so what to do? Output only some exif data?

The most complete solution would be to first check all picture files to find and collect all available tag-names from all the files. In a second pass the tag-values could be read from the picture files for the actual export; missing tag-values could be substituted with an empty string or something else to show that the value is missing.

Thank you,

Andreas
