Exif metadata not exposed as editable searchable fields

Razuna v2 Legacy Self-Hosted
1

Sorry for the newbie post, as I may be missing something obvious here, but is there a reason why all of the Exif and XMP metadata is not exposed and editable? I was expecting that Razuna would be able to see, filter, and manipulate this data directly in the files uploaded, since the system makes use of Exiftool. It would be great if I could do this. How difficult would it be to write a plugin to do this, and has anyone attempted it?

Specifically, the fields I am currently most interested in querying on are:

  1. EXIF - GPS Data
  2. EXIF - Rating, Rating Percent
  3. EXIF - Camera Make, Model
  4. XMP - Person in image

In addition, being able to display and rate photos directly in the tool would be a great capability to add.

Found the documentation to add custom fields from metadata and successfully tested the ability to import Rating field. Since Rating and Rating Percentage occur together and should be kept in sync, it does seem like a Rating plugin is a better way to go. Is there a way to provide custom widgets/editors for custom fields to be used in forms? Will keep looking for this.

Have not yet tested whether the PersonInImage field gets brought in correctly, as these are nested XML elements. Will try that next. :smile:
