Thanks a lot for this plugin. Is it possible to read also the IPTC data from jpegs? Archiving the pictures most photographers put the description, keywords and other relevant into IPTC, which is requested by professional stock photo and image galleries.
But let’s wait for the first beta of EE 1.3, maybe this feature is already integrated in the gallery.
Your plugin looks just fine. Going to install it. Does it extend to IPTC ? is the idea behind it to extract headline, caption and keywords ? so, potentially, one could batch import images, and the ee gallery would display title+summary+tags ?
Laurent, the plugin uses php exif functions to read the data from the images. There are no functions that I know of that can read IPTC data. (I must add: I haven’t looked into this in a long time, though. But at the time that I made this plugin, no such functions were available, I believe…)
About the resizing: this plugin doesn’t resize at all, it just reads data from jpegs, so no, that problem is not solved. If you want to retain that data for your thumbnails, I can only advise you to use proper imaging software instead of a web server… :)
Very handy your plugin. Almost convinces me to use EE gallery, if only I could somehow get iptc, search and better batch upload methods (iphoto, picasa, xp publish…).
I don’t know anything about php, but I found this article.

Current version is 1.01. That takes care of a small bug.
Maybe I’ll look into that IPTC thing after EE 1.3 is released… :-)
Hello Lodewijk,
any news about integrating also the IPTC tags in your plugin? If I can contribute something to create this plugin, please let me know.
Thomas, I don’t think I’ll be getting round to it. Feel free to mess around with the code yourself, though.
Hi Lodewijk
Your plugin looks just fine. Going to install it. Does it extend to IPTC ? is the idea behind it to extract headline, caption and keywords ? so, potentially, one could batch import images, and the ee gallery would display title+summary+tags ?
Many thanks for any tips.
laurentsj on eeforum.
Sorry, i forgot to ask:
so far, when uploading a jpeg to the ee photo-gallery, the metadata remains on the jpet IF it doesn’t get resized.
Does your plugin solve the metadata loss when resizing ?
Thanks.
