In version 4.3 IPTC and EXIF support in WPPA+ is introduced.
If you have WPPA+ version 4.3 or later, all available IPTC and EXIF data that is inside the photo file will be captured and imported into the WPPA+ system (db tables wppa_iptc and wppa_exif).
This is regardless of wheter the IPTC and/or EXIF boxes are enabled in Table II items 28 and 29.
Note that this feature is only configurable in the Auto Save version of the Settings page.
The capturing of this info is done either when uploading or importing photos to the wppa+ system.
If you want the IPTC and EXIF data to be imported from existing photos, you will have to update them using the wppa-depot and the update checkbox checked on the Import photos admin page. This will keep the original phot ids and will prevent the generation of duplicates. Also when updating you do not need to know the potos albums.
Once there is IPTC and/or EXIF data present, The Tables X and XI will show all the IPCT and EXIF tags that were actually found during upload/import.
You can edit the lables, you can even make them multilangual according to the qTranslate rules. Example (used on this site):
Exif tag E#9202 has description:
[:en]ApertureValue:[:nl]Diafragma:
to make sure the labels will display in the sites language.
You can also change the display status in the Tables on the settings page, so only the tags you want to show up in the IPTC and EXIF boxes will be displayed.
You can use the IPTC and EXIF data in the descriptions of photos very easy.
To embed a IPTC tag value into a description, use for example: 2#080 to display the photographers name.
To embed a EXIF tag value into a description, use for example: E#829A to display the exposure time.
The full text i use in the description of Jules Gobeils birds in this site is:

</div>
Note 1: You need “Allow HTML” (Table IX-4) checked.
Note 2: As soon as you have figured out your standard description, you can put it in Table IX-12 so it will be there automaticly on new uploaded/imported photos.
