Metadata slideshow

[lweymanjones]

Hello,

I am trying to create a digital image slideshow that shows an image
according to what time of day it is. For example if a photo was taken
at 10:35am the image would be displayed at 10:35am on your computer
screen (when the slideshow is activated on screen). I've been looking
into using various metadata extractors but have not come across
anything that can do such a thing. My knowledge of Java is very weak so
if anyone knew of a similar project or at least be able to point me in
the right direction I would be extremely grateful. I hope this makes
sense. I can post more information it would be useful.

Thanks,
Lawrence

I think you'd need to be fairly comfortable with Java programming just
to write a image slideshow program, even if you drop the requirement of
extracting metadata.

That said, since I knew that not all image file formats allow for meta
data, but that jpeg does, and that jpeg is the format that most digital
cameras will output to, I googled for "java jpeg metadata" and I got
