It's clunky in a way- you use the program to generate an html page of
thumbnails. But you can select pretty well any piece of the exif
information that you want to be included under the thumbnail. It's
been a while since I used it; I think that finding and selecting the
exif selection was a bit of search through some submenu. Maybe the
interface has been cleaned up since the 2.xx version.

It's a very nice program and the html page looks great. But it's too bad it
doesn't quite do the job. The thumbnails include Light Metering and ISO. But
I'm looking for a little more detail. The thumbnails don't include Shooting
Mode, White Balance, AF Mode, or Photo Effect. AEB (exposure bracketing)
setting is another I'm looking for.

I also tried entering the custom fields for Canon such as "Flash =",
"Flash=", and "Flash:" but none of them work. I guess that's because the
EXIF data is not in APP12 format.

Huh? I used to be able to print info like that. Maybe they removed
that feature? Too bad. I hope you find something that works for you.

There are some customizable aspects in BreezeBrowser. You probably could
get it to output an html contact sheet with that info. I know it'll
display all those in various display modes & those can be customized &
formatted.
