Disclaimer: I wrote that library (and even libexif-gtk providing some
gtk widgets).

Yes. You are aware that only JPEG files can include EXIF metadata? EOG
uses gdk-pixbuf to render images - you would need to access the files
directly to check for EXIF data in them as all metadata information gets
lost in gdk-pixbuf.

Anyways, gnome-gv displays some information about the file in the status
bar. Something like that in EOG sounds interesting.

If you need help regarding libexif, contact me.
