=====================================
Temporary Attribute Correction Utility for Windows
 
Overview

This software removes temporary attributes from image files in which they are embedded.
Temporary attributes are one of file attributes defined for use in Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP systems.


Some versions of the applications that come bundled with Canon products (i.e., ZoomBrowser EX, File Viewer Utility, and RemoteCapture) were designed to attach temporary attributes to image files imported from a camera via CameraWindow or via a card reader. From now on, these applications will not attach these attributes to these files. This software is being released to remove temporary attributes from image files in which temporary attributes were embedded with previous versions of these applications.


The following applications are known to attach temporary attributes to image files:
ZoomBrowser EX, versions 4.1.0/4.1.1/4.1.2/4.5.0 *1
CameraWindow 4.5.1 in ZoomBrowser EX 4.5.1 *1
File Viewer Utility, versions 1.2.0/1.2.1/1.2.2/1.3.0/1.3.1
RemoteCapture, versions 2.7.0/2.7.1/2.7.2/2.7.3/2.7.4
*1: When images are imported via CameraWindow, temporary attributes are added to the image files.

I have a Canon SD100 digital camera that has the ability to auto-rotate the
pictures into vertical alignment when they are captured. In other words,
there is a sensor in the camera that determines which way the camera was held
and then alters the EXIF information so that it is automatically rotated to a
vertical alignment if need be. I'm using the ZoomBrowserEX software that
came with the camera and it performs the autorotation as it captures.


In ZoomBrowser and in the standard Windows XP Explorer, all the thumbs and
pictures display as expected. However, when I log on to the computer with
another user account, the vertical pictures display as 'red Xs'. If I click
on them, I get an error that they aren't standard JPG images. Even my image
editing program won't read them.


In addition, if I go to another computer on our home workgroup and navigate
to the shared directory where the photos reside, I see the same symptoms.
The only way they are visible is if I logon to the original PC with the
original account name.


Why? What can I do? Are the photos corrupted? Is there a bug in XP
regarding EXIF information? BTW, the horizontal photos appear everywhere
without problems, it is just the auto-rotated images.
