I wrote some code this morning. Not much, as I only had a little less than ten minutes before rushing around for work.

Enough to break ice on a “simple” file management task I’ve been constructing in my head for several weeks though.

So I'm pulling out ExifTool, a longtime favorite when it comes to handling file metadata. Random curiosity: has anybody else successfully implemented the same range and depth of file metadata manipulation? In a single API? One that's not just calling an `exiftool` executable under the hood?

I mean as much as some folks dislike Perl, they could at least do us the favor of stealing our best works.
