Oops, I meant to send this to the list but instead just sent it to 
Chuck... Here it is again (sorry for the duplication, Chuck).


Your impression was right, sorta.  There appears to be better support 
for the various camera specific "makernote" fields in the Exifer code.  
I just think that the native PHP code should be faster (compiled in 
versus runtime).  That and it'll get you out of the game of supporting 
and updating that section of code (always a plus, right).  Also, the 
Exifer code takes care of the conversions of the APEX format fields 
(shutter speed, exposure time, f number) where I've had to do it 
manually with the PHP function.

I've been playing around with re-writing the Exif code to use the native 
PHP calls.  While most of my modifications wouldn't necessarily be of a 
lot of value now, as the PHP version of the code matures, I can imagine 
most of the Exifer-based code will become either deprecated or be merged 
into the main PHP tree (pure speculation on my part here).

I've attached a patch to exif-image.inc that uses the native PHP calls.  
I've completely removed the dependency on lib/Exif.php.

Anyway, I can probably put together a patch that will put human readable 
names on the Exif fields (I'll have to strip out my other stuff first) 
if you think it would be worthwhile.  I just made an associate array 
with the key being the Exif field name and the value being the human 
readable form.

Let me know if you'd like me to send the patch out for just the 
description or if you can pull it out of the patch I've included below.

P.S.  In case I haven't said it already, the Horde team rocks.  For a 
bunch of volunteers, you guys have managed to put together something 
amazing.
