Description
I'd like to know if there's any interest in modifying this module to allow the display of exif information from imagefield cck fields. This would be very useful to me, and I'm willing to write the code and submit as a patch if there's any interest. I feel it's best to do this rather than start another module.
#1
Yes, I'd love Exif to be more independent from the Image module, and support other image solutions, especially CCK Image Field.

I'm going to start some work in this direction for D6. Integration of imagefield. EXIF data will be stored in CCK fields. I see this as follow: The user creates a content type. He then creates textfields after a special naming convention: exif.... so for example, exif_date, exif_location and so on. When uploading an image, the module sorts out those exif data that have been defined by CCK fields.
This makes it very flexible as any exif data can be imported, plus it can be edited afterward (a nice feature would be to save them back into the images). Plus it integrates into views.
One thing I'm though not sure is: exif keywords -> would probably be better suited in the taxonomy?
What if a node can contain multiple images??? It would make it a little bit more complex, so I'm thinking to limit the functionality to just one image per node.
These are the plans. Expect no work before next year and it's going to be for D6.

yes i thought about this taxonomy stuff too - but i think, most of the people want to build an image-node with this - so one image per node would be fine for a lot of them - thanks momper

+1 any code ready yet?

This would be rather a useful in addition to ImageCache, CCK, ImageAPI, assuming EXIF data is preserved by Allowing ImageCache to crop, scale etc.
#8
any progress on exif imagefields? many images -- one node...
does ImageApi (-->imagecache) retain EXIF data?
optional http://drupal.org/node/355390
is or will be possible to extract exif data from images or imagecached images (with exif) with exif module? Can we then take some information from there per image and use it somewhere else? example: use code from other projects like exif2gmap, to map all lovative (x,y) information (like: http://drupal.org/project/issues/exif2gmap). any ideas?

there's not going to be support for many images in one node.
About EXIF data being stored in imagecache images -> I don't know, but actually it doesn't matter, because exif takes the information stores them in CCK and then imagecache is resizing the image.
