Have anyone else tried LMS with their photo library and a UPnP client ?
My first reflection is that when I view it with PlugPlayer the main
title of my photos shown are:
- Photos taken with my old Olympus C700UZ: "OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA"
- Photos taken with my old Minolta DImage A1: "Minolta DCS"
- Photos taken with my current Canon EOS400: "IMG_2192.jpg"
- Photos taken with my Panasonic camera: "p1000167.jpg"
I'm not sure how other cameras handle this but the Olympus and Minolta
images where the ImageDescription field is set to the camera model and
this wastes a lot of space when displayed. I'd prefer to see something
else than the "ImageDescription" as image title for these images.
The file name shown as title for the Canon images is pretty useless too
unless I'm specifically looking for a file name to be able to copy the
image to somewhere.
If LMS really wants to make a difference, I think there should be some
way to configure it to how you want to map EXIF fields to be displayed
depending on either:
- The camera model (For example, show aperture/focal length/exposure
time if the EXIF Make field is Minolta Co., Ltd.)
- The filename syntax (For example, show aperture/focal length/exposure
time if the filename has syntax: IMG_[0-9]{4}.JPG)
- The image description (For example, show aperture/focal
length/exposure time if the ImageDescription is "OLYMPUS DIGITAL
CAMERA")
At the moment, the filename is only shown on my Canon images when
viewing images by date, year or album in PlugPlayer. I'd prefer if the
file name was always shown as that's going to be needed if I want to
find the image in my library.
Also, I'd really love a way to browse by IPTC or XMP keywords, without
support for some kind of keyword categorization it's going to be pretty
useless to me as I tend to store photos as one folder per memory card
and this makes it pretty hard to find things by only browsing by
folder.
