Additional fields in a photograph record

[mmeytin]

Jan, thanks again for a very useful extension! I was wondering if you would consider adding additional fields to a photograph record. Specifically, there's currently a Date field, containing, as far as I understand, the date of last modification of a record. Do you think it will be worthwhile to add additional fields DateTaken (date when a picture was taken), and DateCreated (date when the record was created/picture added to the gallery). The the existing Date would probably change to DateModified. DateTaken can be populated from a photographs EXIF record, but should be changeable by a gallery user. This functionality would be helpful for example for ordering pictures - they can be ordered in chronological order without regard to when a photo was added to the gallery. It would also allow to have a module similar to mod_dn - which would display n most recently taken or n most recently added photos. Do you think this is a worthwhile addition to the Gallery?

Thanks,
Mark M.
