I take it you have tried using AlbumObjectMetadata
I’ll be able to get to my Mac in an hour or so and have a play, if I’m still awake after Sunday lunch.

It helps if you don't know the rules, then you are free to try things like

aoM = AlbumObjectMetadata.getInstance(currentObject.getFile());
System.out.println(aoM.getRealCameraDate());

Oh, I was sooooo close! I'd gotten as far as AlbumObjectMetadata.getInstance(), but fumbled the currentObject.getFile().

The images in the sample portfolio are all royalty-free images, with little or no metadata, so they're a terrible collection for testing stuff like this.

September 1952. Offhand, I'd say I've got no more than one or two productive years left in me.

And my eyeglass prescription is very heavy on the "plus diopters" side. If I put down my glasses on a granite countertop with a bold pattern, I have trouble finding them again.

On the other hand, I've plunged into replacing my skin's nav icons with hand-crafted SVG's. Starting with PNG's and using an online converter to get the SVG's produces bloated rough estimations, at best. I've gotten some good pointers from jimberry. He makes me feel like a kid, since he's almost old enough to be my father.

I've come up with a new marketing slogan: jAlbum - The App for Old Guys. We just need to get David to admit that he, too, is now over the hill.
