I'll second that. jhead is great. I use it in a script where I read all 
the images that I've copied from my camera and it renames them and 
rotates them according to my taste. Looking at the jhead lines in the 
script, and having forgotten long ago what they do. The following 
commands do the magic for me.


    jhead -exonly -nf"%f - %d%b%Y - %H%M" "${fname}"
   
    jhead -autorot "${fname}"

    jhead -exonly -ft "${fname}"
