(Just download and install the EyeBatch bulk patch if this happens) -Extracting EXIF parameters out of images stored in a long directory path (more then about 50 characters) will cause an error. Temporary workaround is to move the images into a path that has fewer characters. ***************************************************************************************** 1.0.19 (10/19/00) -Initial Release
