EXIF description as

[Igor Trček]

I have a lot of pictures, whic I wish to upload to gallery.
All pictures have EXIF data.
I upload them, but description of picture is not taken from EXIF.
Also date of picture should be visible.

- Does gallery support automatic naming of pictures from EXIF data ?
- Do I need to install any upgrade, hack ?

You need to have it enabled in Config BEFORE uploading images http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/configuration.htm#admin_picture_thumb_advanced_exif

Read EXIF data in JPEG files  and Read IPTC data in JPEG files

Works only for jpg files.

Only IPTC data is automatically used as title / description / keyword during upload.

Do I need to install any upgrade, hack ?

It should be possible to use the EXIF data instead of IPTC data. Do you want to import any other fields than description?
