Can we extract the date/timestamp from the EXIF and use that? Photo's belong in chronological order most of the time, and that should be time taken, not time uploaded. :-)

Component: Code » image.module

This should/could be done in a separate contrib-module..

Hi Eric,

Have you had any success with this? I'm looking for the same functionality. For my personal/family blog I want to display "image taken since last post" in the end of each story I make. I guess it all could be done in the node theme, but it makes more sense to me (and makes it a lot easier) if the images would be dated correctly.

Cheers

By the way: I found this thread about the image_import module. I wonder if that module (not tagged 4.7 yet) has some of the functionality?

I'm very interested in this functionality.

Has anyone started working on it? If not, I am happy to have a go at patching image.module or making a new module?

I'm thinking if this is done as a new module (exif.module ?), that it should add 'Extract from EXIF:' and checkbox options for:

- Published Date/Time
- GPS information (for localtion.module)
- Comment (node body)
- Possibly keywords for taxonomy

These are listed in order of priority as I see them. There should be defaults in the module config, but people with given rights can click on/off the options above at time of node creation.
