It would be great if Brilliant Gallery could read the photo's EXIF data and give the option to display that in the caption. This would be particularly handy when displaying all photos in a given directory.

I am using Drupal 6.4, and would really love this functionality.

I second this request...
That would be really nice!

I also second the request. This would make my captions a lot better. Using the filename has issues (cannot use special characters like ' or accented characters).

To me, this would be on the top of my whish list for a new feature.

+1 would be VERY cool.

Contents of IPTC caption field if present overriding EXIF description would be ideal.

I think another way to go would be to use this http://drupal.org/project/maqum combined with a gallery module that uses Image module nodes:
Image Gallery (sub-module of Image, new version is Views-based)
AcidFree
any others?

+1 I'd like to have albums arranged by EXIF date instead of filename.

Here's a basic patch that sorts pictures in the slideshow by exif date/time. Anything that it can't figure out (non-JPEG, no tags) the time of gets put in the back of the sort.

The admin page (settings) shows another choice for EXIF sort.

For the patch to work, you PHP must be compiled with --enable-exif
