Yeah, just installed it and it does work as advertised.  Odd that images with no exist data have such a harsh return message:

    $exif -d home_photo_rappensuncle.jpg 
    ExifLoader: Scanning 1024 byte(s) of data...
    ExifLoader: Scanning 1004 byte(s) of data...
    Corrupt data
    The data provided does not follow the specification.
    
    ExifLoader: The data supplied does not seem to contain EXIF data.
    'home_photo_rappensuncle.jpg' is not readable or does not contain 
    EXIF data!

Thanks for the pointer though, this is working perfect for my needs.
