Re: [Ids-devel] Use / search EXIF comments and titles?

[Chris S. <chr...@ya...>]

Right, but IDS is already extracting this data using
Image::Info on the image.html and imageSF.html pages. 
(By the way, what is the difference between those two
pages?)  Image::Info also extracts the EXIF Comment. 
Copying and modifying this code is within my skills,
and I'm currently editing /ids/index.cgi and trying to
make a Ziggo2 theme that will implement it.

Actually, from what I can tell, Image::Info is more
useful than jhead, as it is perl and extracts data
from multiple file formats.  See
http://search.cpan.org/author/GAAS/Image-Info-1.12/lib/Image/Info.pm
 .

However, it doesn't extract IPTC data, which would
probably be more useful.  And it also doesn't make the
EXIF Comment (or other EXIF data) searchable within
the IDS search utility.  Both of those are beyond my
capabilities at this point.  Perhaps those features
could be added to the RFE for IDS 2.0?
