Does anyone out there know of an exif viewer for Safari? As the one I use ExifExt has stopped working! Which is a shame.

OSX Sierra

Have you tried on the developer's site whether a newer version exists?

Bjorn, I have done that and redownloaded the latest version, and it doesn't do anything!

Dallas tells me that the developer in no longer supporting ExifExt!

OK, so the problem is aapparently the OS and browser, not the program as such then.

As I have left the Mac world years ago, afraid I cannot direct you to alternatives. EXIFTool is probably too hard-core.

It seems that Apple has done som under the hood changes in Siera, as other programs also stopped working after the upgrade  :(

I just tested "EXIF Viewer" on my macOS Sierra, work fine, but I don't know if it is the functionality you want.
It is a stand-alone app.
Exify is a plugin for Firefox, maybe the same function, but not for Safari. There is also a plug-in for Chrome called EXIF Viewer.
found them here: http://carlcheo.com/best-exif-viewers

Very   >:(
As a standalone app it works, but as an extension on Safari its doesn't (anymore).
I only use it in Safari.

I guess there will be an update soon.
IIRC it happened with a previous OSX version as well.

I downloaded the program from:
http://phriedrich.de/?module=projects&options=view;0005.xml

I tried with uninstall - restart - install, but that didn't help.
In the folder Programmes I've found Exif Editor.app that could be executed (and worked).

Chris, thanks for the link, unfortunately all I get is a download for the Safari Extension and I don't see a folder called programs!

He probably referred to 'Programmes'  folder on your computer ...

On a Mac it's called "Applications" which I searched diligently and no EXIF viewer.

Since then Chris sent me an email with a zip file of the program, and I now thanks to Chris, I can view the EXIF of my files! Super stuff Chris!
