PhotoMetaData package now available

Note: this post is over a year old, it's very likely completely outdated and should probably not be used as reference any more. You have been warned. :-)

4735128485_ff558e1c32On Codegarden '10 I entered the package competition on a whim, after installing the shiny new Umbraco 4.5 on my laptop there. I was inspired to try and see if the package that I had not completely completed would work on 4.5 and when it did, I just added my name to the list. I ended up winning the third prize with it (a brand new Xbox 360 Elite)!

I've since polished the code a little bit and it is now available to download from the projects section at our.umbraco.org.

Of course I expect to get as many votes on Our Umbraco as during the package contest (you rock)!

The PhotoMetaData package will extract meta data from images that you upload in your media section. This works in both Umbraco 4.0.x and 4.5.

When you create a property with the correct name it will be filled as soon as you upload an image in the media section.

Here a video with a quick overview of the package.

Hiya Sebastiaan, good work on this.
However a small suggestion is not possible to have the properties added automatically with a custom package action on install using the API?

Warren :)
