Hi,

i would like to write an feature to write meta data back to the file.

So the meta data which are inserted via dam should be written back to
the files.

I would like to use exiftool to do so.

But before i start, i want to know if there is someone else working on that?

And i did not dig very deep into DAM so i am happy about any hint which
helps me to get to the right point.

At know i think about using the hook while saving to the database which
is provided by the core itself. So i could make an look up and write the
metadata into the files.

But perhaps i overlock something or someone has an special hint?



btw.: searching for an answer i saw on
http://forge.typo3.org/wiki/extension-dam
"
tx_ccmetaexif_sv4 - Extract EXIF/IPTC/XMP data from files using external
program "exiftool".
"

that ccmetaexif uses exiftool too. But i cannot found such function in
that extension in TER?


i wonder - what i did wrong?
I did such an extension myself, which is in forge and called "exiftool".

There are some typoscript configuration possible, but is not really
tested yet.

gruss,
martin
