Bug Description

Executing from command line I just get this error message:

"ERROR: proccesing EXIF tags on <filename>"

Modifying the source code to see what's happened I've found the cause to be in the EXIF.py library bundled with pyRenamer that is not correctly handling proprietary field types (issue an exception when one is found)

I then downloaded the last version of the EXIF.py from the website: http://exif-py.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/exif-py/source/EXIF.py?revision=24&view=markup

that seems to act better with proprietary fields (escape them instead of issuing an error)

recompiled pyRenamer... it worked

I still have some issue with some image, I detailed them here: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3415966&group_id=187210&atid=920384

But I see that EXIF library is untouched since 2008 and there are some open bug left there.

I both suggest you to upgrade to the newer EXIF library and then mantain it yourself with a fork or change the EXIF library to something constantly maintained.. it should also be an external dependency :)

anyway it's up to you how to overcome the issue.. I just reported it to you...

I modified pyRenamed 0.6.0
