Yes
I have written a jpg viewer as part of a larger project

It all started when i got a Wireless File Transfer box to stick on the bottom of my Canon 5D II
Getting that to work is the larger project.

On the way I built this jpg viewer

It works in two ways
a) by default it looks at a folder of jpg files and displays the latest one.
as a part of that I decided to tinker and it now shows
  • shutter speed
  • aperture
  • ISO
  • date and time
it also show a list of all the jpg files in the folder.
if you click on one it displays the picture along with the data mentioned above

now for the fun part
if you click the Analyse button it shows how I have decoded the exif data
the Debug button just shows a hex dump (that I needed to get the exif data sorted out)

if you want to give it a try you can download it here
jpg viewer

it's free and probably worth twice what you paid for it

help file is included for the hard of clicking
I have tried to make it idiot-proof,
but the idiots outnumber us - and they're damned good at what they do! :nuts:

I have tested it with quite a few different jpg files
but if you find one that doesn't work, please let me know

I'd be delighted to get feedback

oh and mods - if this is in the wrong place - do please move it
but as it will be followed by the "how to get a WFT (Wireless File Transfer) working" I thought this was the right place... :shrug:
 
pretty quick. :thumbs: Doesn't autorotate portrait images from the D3 though. :)
 
aha
I see I have been "relocated" thanks!:)

I did wonder about rotation
watch this space

the good news is - it actually opened a Nikon jpg
(at least I think it's good news!)

did the shutter speed, aperture etc display ok on the status bar?
oh and if you click Analyse did it show the orientation as portrait?
that would make the decision easier
 
aha
brain now switched on

how the <<expletive deleted>> do I know that it was portrait!!!!!!!!! :bonk:

I might just add a rotate button though
 
in response to a large number of requests from the user-base :naughty:
(oh all right then, dod mentioned it once :'( )
I have added a rotate button

in fact they were on special this week so there's two buttons - rotate left and rotate right

you can now hide the panel completely so there's even more room for the picture

updated exe and help files download here

here's what it looks like now
