Take the following steps:

  1. In Drupal 7.4, edit any content type and select the "Manage Fields" tab.
  2. "Add new field" for any given Exif metadata field, say "field_exif_title" as the "Field name"; "text" as the "Type of data to store"; and "metadata from image" as the "Form element".
  3. Click the "Save" button.
  4. You will be taken to "Field Settings" tab, where the only field is the "Maximum length." Click "Save field settings".
  5. You will be next taken to the "Edit" tab. Enter title.
  6. Under "image field to use to retreive data", see "exif field data" and select the corresponding field name from the list (in this case "exif_title").
  7. Click the "Save settings" button.

No matter what I select, I get the error message: "you must choose at least one image field to retreive metadata.", and the image field is not saved. I am using Safari 5.1 and FireFox 5 on Mac OS X.

Because this bug appears to completely hinder the operation of the module, I have set Priority to "major".

I recently upgraded to 7.8,

the "Image" field type is NOT listed in the Field type list, nor is displayed in the widgets list on the Manage Fields page ( see screenshot)

I have searched many forums but no luck and I am stuck.

Any help will be highly appriciated.

I don't know but for some reasons the image module was deleted/ or not present in the modules folder. I copied the D7.8 image module to modules folder which solved the issue, But one thing that other D6 modules are now also displayed i.e.
Image Attach
Image Gallery
Image Import
ImageMagick Advanced Options

with the following error message:

This version is not compatible with Drupal 7.x and should be replaced.

I wonder what it is causing and why are they listed here

Automatically closed -- issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.

I am running into the same issue on Drupal 7.37. I can't save the field at all and get the same error message.
