[TYPO3-dam] writing meta data back to file

[Martin Holtz]

FYI:

i did a first step in writing meta into files.

The extension "exiftool" is available via forge and in early development
stage.

If someone would like to help me, test the extension, defining correct
meta-data configuration etc. i would be happy.

At the moment the "exiftool" itself is shipped with the extension. So
you only need perl installed on your server.

The extension provides
1) an service to extract meta-data (exif, IPTC and lot more with a wide
range of file-types)
2) an hook which writes the meta data into file (enabled /disable via
extension config) if an tx_dam record is updated
3) a short manual - there is an example page-TS for the media-page which
should be inserted.

Todo:
- enough;)
- fine-tuning the configuration (Page-TSConfig at Media-Page-Record)
- add a checkbox to tx_dam - to allow / disallow writing meta-data back
to file
- writing category into file meta data
- respecting be-user rights (nothing done yet)
- provide an option "ifEmpty" for setting meta-data if an record is
empty (f.e. copyright)
- documentation
- testing, testing...
- clean up the code

ok, so i would be happy if someone would have an look at it and gives me
some hints, if it is totally crap or a good start:)

(this post seems not to get into the mailinglist - so i send it again:)

thanks,
martin
