Pekka, suggest checking this out for next release:
I notice that if IPTC data is supplied for 'Object Name' on an image,
it 'Trumps' - overrides - any 'Default Data' Header & Filename settings.
I'd rather see EE use BOTH pieces of data & settings.
That is, if IPTC 'Object Name' is supplied - use it in place of the Default Photo Data 'Header' setting; BUT RETAIN the setting for FILENAME.EXT if supplied.
i.e., if Default Photodata says 'Header(Filename.EXT)' AND IPTC 'Object Name' is supplied AND NO 'HEADER' is supplied in Default Photodata, then marry the IPTC Object Name to the actual EE File Name & EXT. If a 'Header' setting is supplied - use it INSTEAD of the IPTC input. Also add another drop-down option for 'Header Conversion' - NONE - accepts IPTC 'Object Name' if input with image; or outputs nothing if not supplied.
There may be better. more optimized/rationalized ways of doing this - whatever achieves the above goals.
