As far as I can tell, your code analysis is correct, there is no fallback
for metadata that is not in the DB, and the fields in the DB are the ones
that are displayed.
adding your own fields to the DB is a bad idea because it will make your DB
incompatible with DT and will be hell to maintain if/when we add our own
fields
Now, we do need a generic way to get any metadata on an image. I would be
very interested in such a piece of code (mainly for lua use) so that
backend part would be something that might interest us upstream
(caveat: I think houz had plans in this area, so you might want to discuss
it with him beforehand)
so yeah, no miracle way to do it, sorry, but the overall work might be
interesting.
