Write Exif Module

Uses exiftool to write changed metadata into JPG files.

Description

This is a very rudimentary module for Gallery 3 which uses exiftool to write changed metadata into JPG files.

Caveats

• It's not particularly well tested. It may eat all of your files.
• Requires exiftool [1], and furthermore is hardcoded to look for /usr/bin/exiftool -- that should be an option.
• Only handles Title and Description.
• A little slow.

Your patches and test reports are welcome to help improve these issues.

Good Things

• It seems to work for me.
• Tries to avoid changing things which don't need changing.
• Does rudimentary error checking and should at least log if it's broken something.

Getting It

This module may be downloaded from GitHub [2].

Put it into a folder named "writeexif" in your Gallery 3 modules folder. Then, log into your Gallery web site as an administrator and activate the module in the Admin -> Modules menu. Once active, it should just work.
