The issue for me is that I don't have any useful title in the image, it
would be a lot better to just display the physical filename instead of
showing ImageDescription where the camera might have written a hard
coded string. But I can understand that there might be a few people who
actually set the ImageDescription on their images, I expect these people
to be fairly few but they probably exists and they probably want it to
be displayed if they have spent the time to set useful titles.
If a post scanner phase would be acceptable, one alternative would be
to look through all images and find all images where there are at least
10 images with the same title, and remove the title from these or set it
to the file name. If there are 10 or more images with the same title,
it's highly likely that it's a hard coded string from the camera.
An alternative would be to make it possible to configure a list of
ImageDescription strings that should be ignored by the scanner.
Or even better, just make it possible to configure which EXIF fields
that should be exposed over UPnP similar to title formats for standard
Squeezeboxes, that way I can configure it to expose the EXIF fields I
like to be exposed. Since ImageDescription is completely useless in my
library, I wouldn't need to have this configuration per camera model,
I'd probably just configure it to show filename, date and maybe extra
information like exposure time, focal length, aperture and these fields
are probably the same on all camera models.
