Coverted file is now a .kmz Can export a .kmz file that contains all the images embedded in it (set at large thumbnail size) kmz files can be dragged onto iTag for geocoding (previously only *.kml allowed) When adding photos, each photo is rendered when it's thumbnail is ready Can disable the warning before connecting to the Internet in options iTag.exe accepts a list of pictures to load on startup (so adding a "Send To" shortcut for iTag now works) Folders can be dragged onto the photo list and all photos in that folder and any sub folders will be loaded Context menu for photo list added Added latest Exiv2 binary - version 0.10 Can sort the photo list Added context menu for working tags list.

Sends GPS coordinates to TerraServer web service to retreive the location name. In addition to thumbnail view, images can be displayed in detail view Geocodes can be erased from images - clearing both the EXIF and IPTC codings Double clicking an image launches that image in the registered image viewer Photos geocoded with WWMX Location Stamper prior to version 2.0 now recognised as geocoded Fixed several bugs when tagging photos from KML files When adding new photos to the working set, they are automatically selected When adding new photos to the working set, the previous selection is persisted Fixed bug when creating KML files from photos Photos with EXIF only (and not IPTC tags) geo data are recognised as geocoded Added function to transfer GPS data stored in EXIF to IPTC section Added function to transfer GPS data stored in IPTC to EXIF section Can optionally geocode to IPTC or EXIF or both sections (set via Options) Geocoded photos are indicated with an Earth icon overlaid on the thumbnail Exported Google Earth placemarks now sit 50m above the surface with a tether tieing them to the ground Exported Google Earth placemarks icon changed to a camera Fixed bug where KML files don't import properly for locales that use commas for a decimal point (eg: Portugese-Brazil) Kml files built from GPS track logs are given an internal name matching the file name (rather than "ITag converted KML") Added GPX to KML conversion function Right click, copy to clipboard from tag list Compiled against Exiv2 version 0.8 (from 0.7) Google Earth range, tilt, heading encoded from KML file Application remembers last window state and restores it on load (maximised/normal) Save icon only enabled when photos have been edited Title/Description fields cleared when selection cleared Tag buttons only enabled when appropriate Bugs around adding/removing tags from common set
