Doesn't grab exif information from NEF

[D. Vries]

pyRenamer (0.6.0, Fedora 12) does not show typical exif-information from NEF-files (RAW data from Nikon cameras) in Preview, nor does it use the exif information for renaming.

Example when trying to rename:
"DSC_001.NEF" to "10feb2010 TULIP 01.NEF" and previewing, it shows:
"TULIP 01.NEF" (with file extension checked on) and using the fields:
{imagedate} TULIP {num2}

Looking into the source code, it looks like pyRenamer uses EXIF.py, which is severely outdated and probably does not support RAW-data from new(er) Nikon camera models like the D70 and D90. It's tested with NEF-files from both cameras.

It does work on JPEG-files however.

Suggestion: let pyRenamer depend on exiv2 or pyexiv2 (http://tilloy.net/dev/pyexiv2/).

Just noticed this bug as well under 10.10 : EXIF information were not retrieved and thus mass renaming didn't work.

Any solution found yet? Pyrenamer still not recognizing NEF exif data.
