This is probably of the same order of usefulness as a suggestion as "use a Mac", but we do this using a custom tag that shells out to a Perl script that does both the EXIF extraction (using Image::EXIF) and the MySQL database update. A couple of EXIF fields (date, camera) go straight in; the rest (barring thumbnail/datadump chunks) gets encoded as WDDX and goes into a single table field so ColdFusion can get at it easily if it's ever needed. -- Pete Jordan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
