Photo HEADER conversion and new ISOs. Please help.

[karim]

Hi Pekka, all.

I'm trying to make EE automatically assign one of the IPTC fields (the object name) to the "HEADER" of the photo page. It did work on a few photos but now it stopped and I have NO IDEA what I did to break it... Is there a way to AUTOMATICALLY replace the "New Photo" header with anything more meaningful? I'd hate to have to do this by hand after uplodading dozens of photos!

The other thing is I can't seem to locate the php files which set the different ISOs (100,200,400...) I need to add intermediate ISO values that match my camera (160, 320...).

Many thanks.

Go to graphics modules page, select a photo and click "VIEW COMBINED CAMERA DATA". Perhaps some of those images did not have IPTC data?

As to autorename all photos - there is no such functions yet. If you go to photo editor and empty the header field and press enter it will get default photo data header.

The other thing is I can't seem to locate the php files which set the different ISOs (100,200,400...) I need to add intermediate ISO values that match my camera (160, 320...).

Thanks for the reply Pekka.

All the uploaded photos have IPTC data. All "object name" fields are filled in. So I'm still not sure why EE doesn't pick it up.

EE reads header currently this way:

read IPTC field "header".
if above is empty, use IPTC field "headline".
if above is empty, use XMP field "title".

Perhaps some field has one space in it and it overrides "good" data? I'll can do an override fix for that in RC3. There are also some other usable header fields which I must take into account (like XMP header).

If you could find a photo which gets correct header info in "VIEW COMBINED DATA" and the compare that IPTC to ones which don't deliver the header, that might explain something.
