Please send me exiftool output for your camera (xml format).

Question

I am writing a metadata plugin that incorporates at least some of the metadata from raw files that Adobe "missed" - this metadata will be displayed in the right-hand panel in the Library module, and be available for Library Filtering and Smart Collections.
Some examples of non-camera-specific metadata:
     - Exposure Compensation/Bias
     - Flash Setup
     - Bits Per Sample (e.g. 12 or 14).
Some examples of Nikon(D300)-specific metadata:
     - Active D-Lighting
     - Focus Distance
     - Hyperfocal Distance.
     - Depth Of Field
     - VR setting.
I am going to make it configurable so users can select just which metadata they want - to keep it lean. This selection will include elimination of metadata that would only be present for cameras they do not own.
I will be offering this plugin free of charge, but I need information.
For those of you so inclined, here's how:
1. Windows: download Phil Harvey's exiftool(-k).exe and rename it exiftool.exe.
1. Mac: download the .dmg file instead and install.
2. execute exiftool -X {some-raw-file} > {CameraMfr-CameraModel}.exif.xml in a command shell / terminal window.
3. Send me the xml file - anyway you can - one way: http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ContactMe - and send as attachment using your emailer.
Make sure I can figure out which camera company and camera model the information corresponds to.
Thanks,
Rob

Hey TK (hope you don't mind the informality),
Not at all.
I hope it is OK to respond to this post; that it will still leave the other one editable.
Actually, if you send me a raw I can use it to test before releasing - the raw itself is actually required now to test - not the exif output.
OK, will do when I'm on a better connection (in less then 24 hours). Hope that's OK.
