deactivate a lens ?

[kheops]

hi :)

i hope i'll be quite clear...

let's say i have a 10-500 X lens, some of my photos in my gallery are made with this lens
but this lens sucks, so i buy the marvelous 10-500 Y lens, and start shooting

for one reason, if i upload a new picture, EE "thinks" that it comes from the X lens, and i have to change the properties in the photo editor afterwards

so, is there a way to deactivate a lens to "help" EE make a correct guessing ?

thanks a lot

My site is down at the moment so I can't check, but I'm sure if you go to the section where you add your lenses there's and option to delete them as well.

[kheops]

you're right Mike, but you can't remove a lens as soon as it's used in an exhibition, which is my case

thanks for your time

I'm interested to know if this is possible, too.

Yes it is possible by creating an array of lens ids which is then used as ignore list in lens guess code.

Can you elaborate? I'm programming stupid :(

for me piece of code to change is in SCRIPT_add_to_database.php in your admin folder, search for
if ($s_upload_guess_lens == "1") {
i'm trying to patch it
