Hi, I forgot about the license field, added that to example. With digital cameras it should be easy to get the EXIF information from the file, with film it would just take a bit longer (and you would have to keep notes when you take the photo, something I always forget about!). The advantage of having shutter, iso speed etc is you could do some sneaky searching that way, for example high ISO speeds photos would find nighttime/sports photography, small aperture finds landscapes (perhaps). Having the model information would give some indication to the quality of the picture, and allow for comparisions. So, any admin reading, is it possible to implement this?. I'd make the changes if need be, to start with all that is needed is to alter the upload form, and the script that reads the uploaded data to dump it into the generated file page, should be fairly easy...? (Later would come EXIF parsing, displaying data on file page, supplying defaults set in user preferences, searching on fields, etc.) On Thu, 20 Jan 2005 14:18:28 +0100, notafish <notafishz(a)gmail.com> wrote:
