This one's a quickie. I promised to make available some changes I made to Gene Cash's EXIF.py library. I'm only providing them as a diff patch because ceache is working on improving the performance of the library extensively by using PIL's exif parsing code with EXIF.py's MakerNote deciphering code.

Image.open()
runs way faster than EXIF.py's
parse_file()
, and EXIF.py was choking a bit too often (the last straw was failing to read EXIF 2.2.1 from ceache's canon 30D, whose standards document has seemingly gone missing).

He's hard at work banging out the changes and hopefully once he's done long awaited work on the gallery can start anew. There is already quite a lot going on in terms of development, but I still have to document a lot of changes and finalize some things. I'd say the todo app will be ready to launch in another week or two.
