Add all unused photos

[toast_dk]

Is it at all possible to have EE import the timestamps from the thumbs and use those for 'date' and 'time' when using 'add all unused photos'?

If so, how? If not, WHY not?? ;)

It would be cool to have the option "use thumb's timestamp" in the "Exhibition Photodata Defaults" screen.

And another thing - not really that important - couldnt 'orientation' be read automatically??

function http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.filemtime.php can do it, but as I think it: the time in database should not be the day you save the file, but the day when you shot the photo.

I could, but it would slow down importing a bit. But as I would like to have a custom "not found" image anyways on photo editor, why not add orientation detection as well (comes from same function, for "free" ). I'll let you know soon if this feature will appear in next version.

I'm impressed I could ever learn to code anything :)

PS. I just coded something useful to next version: no more shutter speed + shutter unit! You just enter shutter speed normally like it is:
1/200
1s
.3s
also 1:200 is "approved"

EE takes care of putting it to "correct form" internally.

I have now coded it.

In photo editor, orientation info (horizontal, vertical,square) is now automatically fetched from thumbnail. This can be set on or off in settings (in case someone wants square thumbs, or the small delay to get file info disturbs too much).

(Note that when a new image is created the orientation is fetched while editor page opens, which means you have to save the data to get orientation saved).

If the database entry changes as well, will the upgrade convert our data from the old style to the new?

The database entry does not change.
