Stephen McKamey commented on CB-1285:
-------------------------------------
I think the general expectation is #2 as the returned images may have a life
outside of Cordova. #1 would not only break existing usage but would cause
external services to need to understand how to accept metadata as additional
data outside of the image bits. Other iPhone image apps include metadata
directly in the file as EXIF.

> Key: CB-1285
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1285
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: iOS
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Environment: iOS 5.1.1 (iPad 2 & iPhone 4)
> Reporter: Stephen McKamey
> Assignee: Lorin Beer
> Fix For: 2.2.0
>
>
> Now that Cordova only supports iOS 4.2+, it would be great if it would
> include the additional EXIF metadata which exists in original image files.
> Currently this is all stripped. I've noticed a recent increased trend of iOS
> apps declaring that they can gain access to EXIF data if the user permits
> location information. If EXIF & geo data were passed through this would be a
> huge gain for Cordova.
> Related: a similar issue (CB-295) was opened for Android and it sounds like
> it was implemented. From the other issue, it sounded like it was a side
> effect of resizing the image. If no resizing needs to occur (i.e., the
> untouched original bits are desired), then perhaps this would help?
