Write date-time

[tdegeus]

Thanks for giving us easyexif, it works great and is very lightweight and accessible. For me it therefore surpasses all of the existing libraries.

However, have you ever considered the possibility of modifying EXIF data of an existing image? In particular I would like to be able to modify the date-time information (for the case that I forgot to update the time settings of my camera).

Hi @tdegeus, reading Exif has a pretty big set of vendor-specific challenges (as you can see by the commits from various contributors here). My concern at Exif modification would be corrupting the entire block somehow because of some manufacturer quirk. If you have an approach that seems reasonable, happy to discuss.

@mayanklahiri I completely understand and share your concern. Do you think it might be feasible just to correct the date/time information? Since in practice people often have used the incorrect settings on their camera (e.g. yes/no daylight saving time, incorrect time zone, ...)
