Title: How about this one?
Post by: football-pics.com on August 20, 2004, 02:51:22 pm

I always fill the Data Info on the pics when I prepare them in Photoshop 6.0. One of the places where several pics are put on display manages to fill in the data info (obejct description) of Photoshop as subtitle to the pic.
So I wonder if it is possible to include that (e.g. in the admn menu) or if there is any tool that converts the data info from fotoshop and fills out the data info of coppermine. Currently I have more then 10.000 pics online since switching over to Coppermine this week, so to do it manuelly all over again would be a severe pain in the ..... ;)
I hope that there is something that can be done about that problem.
Thanks,
Marc

Using EXIF is recommended. You have to understand that not every information within a binary file can be read by a webserver script.

Is the info in Photoshop IPTC or EXIF data then both these can be read

Honestly, I have no idea what EXIF or IPTC is. I just go to Data Information within Photoshop 6.0 and fill out the object description. It is possible to read that data, as it gets done on another website that isn´t mine, but I look for a tool that not only reads the data, but wirtes it in the Coppermine Data Info as well...
Is there something someone already created or how can this be done. I know it is possible, there just has to be a tool or a mod or something...
Thanks,
Marc

The EXIF Tool in Coppermine isn´t reading the information I want, therefore it could be IPTC I am looking for...

It's possible to create a mod that would write data to the EXIF comment fields using jhead.  I'll investigate this if it's not already been done.  Whenever a user writes a description for an image, it could also be entered into the EXIF field.  Thoughts?

hasn't been done so far afaik. Go ahead to code this (as a mod) if you feel there's great need for it, but I think there are other issues that more users would benefit from though.

Using jhead may not be a solution in several cases - take a look at the phpEXIFrw class (used in older versions) - the programmer who wrote it has left SANIsoft and is not interested in supporting it further BUT it does do the Write part very well

Thanks Tarique, I'll take a look at it this week.
