Attribute Changer could not read EXIF data segment if APP0 marker segment had a  JFIF extension.

This maintenance release of Attribute Changer fixes the issue.

Attribute Changer celebrates its 20 year birthday.

Initially, Attribute Changer was developed for personal use, but some friends convinced me to share it with the Internet community and I did not expect such a success over the years. Back in 1999, peaks of 50 monthly downloads were counted. Nowadays, an average of 16.200 downloads is counted per month from this site only.

Ever wanted to have an idea what changed in Attribute Changer since version 1.0 ? Please have a look at the changelog.

Many thanks to you all ! Without your support, Attribute Changer would not have reached this milestone.

A small compatibility issue was detected with some Exif viewers. Some viewers showed erroneous Exif time information despite the correct value stored in the header.

In fact, date and time stamps have a fixed length in the header but some viewers were only seeking for a NULL byte and ignored the fixed length.

This maintenance release of Attribute Changer now adds a NULL byte at the end of the string.

A rare Windows Explorer crash was reported whenever a right-click was executed on files and folders. This maintenance release of Attribute Changer fixes the issue.
