I'm often wanting to find out when a particular image was taken, what sol, etc., for raw image files lying around my hard drive. Particularly with the exploratorium files since they are not offered with the dates the images were acquired.

Here is a command-line program that will decode the raw image filenames:

Windows command-line executable rawid.exe

Linux command-line i386 executable

Source code rawid.c

This is the typical output:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
