Re: Basic Read of EXIF data

@ilbarbax Hi, I have no problem with what you have done, publish your improvements here, one of the best ways to learn is to look at how other people have tackled the same problem. As I said it was a proof of concept, I added the GPS because that was the next step. I have had a very quick look at ge...

Re: Basic Read of EXIF data

@ ilbarbax Yes, no problem, the GPS part can almost be separated with out to much work. Some Cameras and Phones record more GPS info than what I have here, you may want to add a few more Tags depending on what you are doing. My next challenge is to be able to add comments into an image without corru...

Re: How to tell if a file is a valid sqlite database?

@JPV

Yes I would generally agree with you, but the example was cut down from a much larger program. I had to leave out a lot and had to tweak it to work as an simple example. So it was not as elegant as it could be.

Re: How to tell if a file is a valid sqlite database?

@ NathanH

If you look at an SQL Lite file in a text editor, you will find that it starts with "SQLite format 3" Just check for that, if its there - load it, if is not , its not an SQL file.

Borderless fullscreen in RapaGUI with Amiga OS4

HI,

I have tried to create a fullscreen borderless window in RapaGUI 2.2 on Amiga OS4.

The screen does not display properly, see 'How do I make a borderless fullscreen in RapaGUI' for code examoples.

@plouf has had a look and can confirm something is not right.

Cheers
Leo
