Re: Maker, Model, Software, and Exif Date... menu
Hi,
Just ran across this again. I had forgotten about it, didn't realize you responded, and I could have sworn I entered in a detailed request. Sorry about that.
On that screen you have to accept the changes for all the shown fields (at least as far as I can tell). So, as a real world example, if I want to select a batch of photos from that old camera that predates proper EXIF data to add Maker and Model, they will also get added the (arbitrarily left over from a previous use?) same date and time. I don't want an incorrect date & time added to those files.
So my request is to the left or the right of all four of those fields would be checkboxes, default could be all of them checked, but I could then deselect the date & time so only the Maker and Model fields are added/updated to those files.
I know there are other ways to add just the Maker and the Model but this dialog box is simple, easy to call & edit, and put the Maker and Model in the correct metadata fields (often when you go to edit all the EXIF data there can be a confusing number of similar fields that you aren't sure which one is the main one for "Model" for instance).

Thank you. I will give it a test this weekend when I get a chance.
