Exif

The Exif module allows you to display Exif metadata on image nodes. Exif is a specification for the image file format used by digital cameras.

Roadmap (order by priority) for drupal 7 & 8 versions:

• Work in Progress (current development in 1.x-dev versions):
  • automated test suite
  • Drush : tree folder import (import images in a folders and sub folders).
    This is working on 8.x branch. backport in branch 7.x in progress.
  • make vocabulary structure optional (flat vocabulary),
  • support automatic title based on image metadata. see #1606294: Automatic Node title from EXIF: generated title does not appear until drush exif-update & then deleted on subsequent node save
  • add a sub module exif_content with some media type and content type
• Followed by :
  • integrate with core/imagecache to rotate image from exif data if desired
  • exif_location adaptation to drupal 7 and 8
  • add support to Views Bulk Operations (VBO)
  • update metadata field of image in file (see #766322: Write and Edit EXIF/IPTC)
  • migration tool from php extension field names to exiftool field name

Drupal 8 version

• Future 1.1 (current 8.x-1.x)

  • add capacity to fill the title based on image metadata
  • Drush : tree folder import (import images in a folders and sub folders)
  • Added several exif field in Photography content/media types

• Since 1.0

  For now, version 8.x-1.0 behave the same as version 7.x-1.9 with some new features :

  • settings of module is fully migrated with two added features:
    
    • A new quick start page has been added to help user to create content related to exif photos in 2 clicks.
    • the settings summary are fully implemented
  • the exif readonly widget is migrated and evolved to show current values in forms. To have the same behavior as Drupal 7, you should choose the new exif hidden widget.
  • it support media_entity
  • add a widget to extract all metadata as a HTML table to get same functionality as Drupal 5 Version
  • add a widget where fields values are viewable in forms

  Note that using media integration, you can not reference images from other sites (the image has to be local) which is not a limitation with node integration as the module is using stream wrappers.

About XMP and IPTC extensions

• IPTC extensions are only available as XMP information. This include mostly non technical information like licensing and other extra informations (this include usage rights terms as an example).
• XMP is not supported by PHP Exif library/extension. You have to use the exiftool solution. This is the reason the exiftool alternative implementation was created.
• Before using the exiftool implementation, ensure that all your environments are able to run exiftool.
