[TYPO3-dam] metaExtract: EXIF & ITPC (cc_metaexif)

[Erik Svendsen]

I suppose the DAM list is a good place as any other.

The metaExtract: EXIF & ITPC in TER is version 1.0.3. As far as i know, is 
there a version 1.0.100 of this extension (i have it installed) . I think 
it's only published on Rene's own pages.

In this version is it possible to use Exiftool to extract metainformation. 
ExifTool reads more and less whatever kind of metadata you throw after it, 
also XMP data (which Adobe uses in pdf-files and most of their application).

I haven't been able to find any bugs in it after some months of use.

Shouldn't this version be released as cc_metaexif 1.0.4/1.0.13 to give people 
the power of ExifTool.

Also, the functionality of ExifTool really gives opportunity to populate 
nearly every field in DAM from EXIF, ITPC, XMP, and could also give some 
ideas for future functionality. For instance, IPTC gives the possibility 
to have categories. Would be nice if a rewrited dam_catedit could make use 
of this information when uploading images, and make the necessary categories.
