jBrout writes EXIF data to files with no date without asking user

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Add a directory of image files to jBrout.

If some files have no Exif.Photo.DateTimeOriginal then jBrout writes "jBrout" 
into the Exif.Image.Make field and sets Exif.Image.DateTime, 
Exif.Photo.DateTimeOriginal, and Exif.Photo.DateTimeDigitized.  There's no 
option to prevent this, there are options to stop jBrout automatically rotating 
images and automatically renaming them.

These images marked with Exif.Image.Make set to "jBrout" are then displayed 
with bright red margins to the thumbnail and there seems no way to get rid of 
this.

The offending code that does this is the function __init__() in tools.py.  The 
value "jBrout" in Exif.Image.Make is used from there on as a flag to mark image 
as 'not real'.

Just a quick addition, the __init__() I refer to above is the one in class 
PhotoCmd().

I am not sure I understand what is the problem? The fact that jBrout makes its 
own Exif.Image.Make or that the thumbnail is marked with bright red margin? If 
it was possible to do the former without the latter, would you still be unhappy?

No response in a long long time.
