exiftool definitely does that.

That "no spam" guy is a troll.

I "+1" on the fact that exiftool is the best there, and noted that it
doesn't have a GUI. Me noting that was in direct reference to the OP's
needs, actually.

Cool. What were my conclusions, then? Surely you read and understood
my posts before you wrote your followup and can detail my erroneous
conclusion contained in these words:

+1

No graphical GPS editor though, but exiftool is amazing.

Please help me find the "conclusion" you are in reference to.

High horses and all that...

You are apparently not understanding what I am writing.

I noted it was NOT a GUI tool and thus would NOT suffice the needs of
the OP.

Again, what was my conclusion you were in reference to? You wrote
about it explicitly above, surely you can point to it?

By typing "+1" on my keyboard when the insert cursor is following the
passage of text to which I am adding my affirmative opinion to.

Surely English isn't your first language. The usage of the word
"though" in my text should have hinted about the paragraph being a
caveat to the intended purpose of the suggestion delivered by the
preceding author? One does not use the word "though" to express and
agreement with a supposed conclusion from the person to which one is
responding. It is quite clearly a sign of slight or great
disagreement. In this case it was in reference to the original posters
expressed needs. My reply clearly chowed that I am capable of agreeing
with "nospam"'s conclusion while at the same time adding information
about the fact that it does not fulfill the original posters entire
wishlist of features.

Try this:

Read about XnView 0.51. Released last week.

Probably. I don't have any porn on my PC with geo imbedded, so
can't check it for you.

I just use it as a viewer. For expert advice, try Bear.
