For this module to truly have Media 2.x support, users need to be able to have multiple images per node, with the EXIF data tied to the image file, not just an image file. Without this, this module is useless to me as I'm sure it is to many others as I arrange my images to galleries of a content type with multiple images per node.

Until this feature is integrated, this module holds little value and does not operate the way Media 2.x is designed.

Have you tried the latest dev version Matt?
I have used this version with multiple image fields on a node. The settings for the 'metadata from image' widget allows you to choose which metadata you want from which image.

It is also possible to attach textfields with metadata widget to the image file/media type. That way the data is stored directly with the image.

Please reopen if it does not work for you.

I am having the same issue as Matt. I tried the metadata from image widget but still the exif data is only shown from the first image.

I was trying to use the Exif module in combination with a multi-value image field, which get filled via the Plupload or Multiupload Widget. I'm doing so as I need to upload 50-70 images in one node and it is to hard to do this one by one. In that case 'the metadata from image' widget doesn't know from which image it needs to get the metadata, it feels that it can only handle one image, right?
I was hoping to use this to get the keywords per image imported and use them as taxonomy terms to filter images in Views.

Really strange it is working for me. I just rechecked. Works for file fields, image fields and file entities.
Checked using camera model and copyright exif data.

I am using plupload, media multiselect and multiform. Maybe that will help someone out.

Else try to reproduce on clean install or simplytest.me ?

@firfin
Tried to reproduce on simplytest.me

Result: on an image field (core, multiple values) only the first exif data is shown.
Anyone can confirm this?

Any new development concerning this issue? I tried anything I could think of but still only the exif of the first image is shown.

I could not get exif module to accept the metadata of multiple images. My solution was file entity with exif custom. This did the trick.

I also have exif custom installed (although not actively using it) so that might be part of the solution. Makes sense?

someone found a way to use multiple images per node for Exif?
I have spent many hours at this and can not find the solution

How is that possible?
in the README.TXT file exif.module says:

Requirements and Constraints
****************************

CCK with at least textfields enabled.
If you use a module like imagefield. It's only possible to have one image per node!!
If there are more than one images per node, only the exif data of one image is read!

Hi,
I would really love to have this feature implemented as it would make this module *the* easy to use Exif standard. At the moment it works really easily with just one image but who wants to create a node for every image in a photo gallery. I've tried Exif custom and couldn't get it working whereas this module just worked instantly and intuitively. However, because it can't handle multiple image per node it just ends up being frustrating and useless for me.

thanks
Rich

This is working since 1.2. choose the image field to use in the widget.

may I allow to re-open this. I'm using the D8 version but think the D7 does the same.
Sure you can use multiple FIELDS in one node but the request is to support multi-valued image fields.
A "simple" solution would be to set up the data-containing fields as multivalue/unlimited too and fill them in the same order like the images?

Hello,

You are right. The issue here was to link a field containing metadata to a specific image field. that was not possible before the fix because only one image field was actually managed. This was also true for vocabularies.
What you are asking now it one step further and is not related to this issue but I will take a look as it is probably possible.
This is not my main use case as I create "galleries" by using taxonomies and vocabularies. So, in my case, I must know the link between the image and the metadata. In the feature you are asking, you loose this link. To be sure to look at what you want, can you create an new issue and give me in few steps what you are trying to do so i can reproduce it and test it ?

regards,
