Delphi component for interaction with ExifTool

[Dima DD]

Hi all,
I've found a possibly good easy-to-use open source component for interaction with Windows console applications via pipes "mu-console v.1.00":

It was developed for Delphi 7 but I beleive it can be easily modified for later versions. Distributive contains compiled demo-program which can be used for testing. I've checked the "exiftool.exe -stay_open 1 -@ -" command and interaction with ExifTool: it works fine! I think this component may save a lot of time for amateur programmers unfamiliar with Windows API, creating processes, piping, etc.

P.S. I'm developing a program for scientific macrophotography which uses important data stored in MakerNotes (focusing distances). It seems that ExifTool is the only software that may fit all my needs. Thank you, Phil, for this great program!

Sincerely,
Dima DD
