Expanded htmlDump

I find htmlDump very useful - especially for file formats I haven't worked with before.

However it is limited (or maybe it isn't and I'm not using it properly) in the type of metadata shown.

As an example I'd like to be able to explore QT format files (such as MOV and MP4) and walk through the atom structure viewing metadata that isn't included within the EXIF section.

Exiftool shows this metadata but I can't see it within the htmlDump.

Is this possible (and I'm not seeing it) or would you consider it as a feature request?

From the -htmlDump option documentation:

    Currently only EXIF/TIFF and JPEG information is dumped,
    but the -u option can be used to give a raw hex dump of
    other file formats.


So it isn't going to give you what you want.  :(
