exif or exit?

[Leendert]

Hi,

I've been using ee for two days now (yes, I got it working) and I do like it. Impressed by all the functionalities. But I wonder about all the different fields in CAMERA DETAIL. Isn't is possible to use the exif data already there in raw format?
Or if importing all this data is difficult to program (or to much work) why not create one field so you (as an end user) can copy and paste the exif data in? You do need a program to get the exif data, I know.

And why let the owner of ee decide if he/she wishes to show the camera details? Why not let the visitor decide?
All that data underneath a photo gets the attention instead of the photo itself. Just a "show me the detail" button and there you go!

Just a thought,
Leendert

In next version EXIF is read and applied by same utility which ftp's and resizes/shapens image to size paths.

Because PHP has a function which extracts EXIF data from image and places it into a form I can use, adding a code to extract data from plain text file would at this point be not "wise" because that would be delaying release and that feature is really not vital.

How detail data is presented can be done in very different ways. Your suggestion is good and I will code it in.
