EXIF

I don't believe there is. Does anyone possibly know of a good module we could leverage?

I'm using The PHP JPEG Metadata Toolkit (GPL of course)
I'm enjoying it because it also supports XMP - which is the future, and fits with my manufactured images. XMP has a semantic specification - better than the random tags that EXIF used to create.

I've got a metadata extractor in dev - that transfers such metadata from files directly into alts, image.module nodes, CCK fields, text overlays on imagecache derivatives, and captions and things. Still in experimental phase, but PJMT is a good start.

maybe? http://drupal.org/project/maqum, currently works using image.module

from the project page.
A Drupal 6 version is planned, but based on imagefield instead of image.
last commit was June08 for D5.

I tried to use Exif with Node Gallery, but I couldn't get it to work. The CCK-fields which are configured to be filled by exif-module are not shown. When editing an 'image'-node and saving it without changes there are shown some errors:

* warning: exif_read_data() [function.exif-read-data]: Not a file in /var/www/web610/html/drupal/sites/all/modules/exif/exif.class.php on line 63.
* warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/web610/html/drupal/sites/all/modules/exif/exif.class.php on line 65.

I'm not sure if this is a bug in exif-module or in node gallery. But because of the CCK-fields work fine if I create a 'image'-node manually (not throughout node gallery) I think this is an issue of node gallery...

I think in version 3.x we'll integrate with CCK ImageField, which will make getting exif data easier.

Just to put this back on the map.

Someone should try using the Exif module with NG3. It's probably just a matter of showing the values on the full node view.

when I try to use the EXIF module, I get an error
(The Function exif_read_data is not available on the system.)
I enabled the php_exif extension, still looking for the solution.
php 5.2.9-2

Is the exif extension listed in phpinfo()? If you're in windows, you have to enable mbstring as well.

So I tried this out. It should work from the integration part, but it requires manual work. You have to create a field on the image type for every exif information you want to show. This is just how the exif module works. For us it would imho be better to create a contrib module that calls exif_read_data() if it exists and extracts some hard-coded fields if existing.

Just my 2 cents.

In the interest of keeping feature creep from getting out of control, I'll mark this particular issue as fixed. The OP now has an EXIF solution. I don't think too many users would use a submodule, but feel free to create a new issue if so.
