Embedded Exif

[Snook]

Is there a way to embed EXIF info in the inline images link? I know it works in the original size but how about in small or medium. I use the link in Dpreview forums and EXIF is important to them. For example http://snook.smugmug.com/photos/14830699-M.jpg
has no EXIF info. I've searched here for this answer but haven't found it yet.

Hmmmm, that's an interesting request. We strip EXIF from the display copies to make them as small and fast-loading as possible. We'd probably leave it out of thumbnails in any case. I don't know how large the exif metadata is that most cameras produce.

It would be quite an undertaking to go back to all 14,000,000 images, scour the originals for exif metadata, and re-make the display copies...

I have a related question.

In a recent thread I was asked to post the exif info for my images. I ended up navigating to the shots in my gallery, opening the exif, copying/pasting into the thread, formatting. It was a pain in the butt.

Copying the link directly to the exif doesn't work, since it's a javascript. Is there a way for me to provide the link? Or better yet imbed it in the image as a hypertext link? So that when you click on the image you get the exif (as displayed in the "More info abou this shot" page."?

How about cutting it in as a new feature and grandfathering the previous images?

DavidTO felt the pain recently (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=5610), when I asked him to go back and post the EXIF data. Life could be so much easier, even with a way to include a link to the EXIF data for an image.

Nice suggestion, I would use it, too:-):thumb

Having a link to the EXIF data is a great idea. Consider it done (cuz I just did it).

No idea when the next feature release will happen, but it'll be in there. You'll find it on the actual EXIF page - the "Photograph Details" text at the top is now a link that you can right-click and copy to your heart's delight.

Nice work guys!

Great job, Don!:thumb

Thanks for being so quick to help with the EXIF data. I'm baffled however on how to use it. My "Picture Details" is not a link. I thought maybe it only works on newly added pics but that didn't help. How do I get at this link?

I think what he's saying is the work is done, and the next time they release new features it'll be one of them. But until the next release, you can't access it.

Thanks ot :clap

Thanks, guess I was too anxious and didn't read closely.

It just went live, along with a whole bunch of other features (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=5722).
