Shazron Abdullah commented on CB-1285:
--------------------------------------
Lorin can clarify, but as I understand it, this fix is to incorporate the
original image's EXIF _into_ the Cordova created image.
In the process of doing so, Lorin has created an EXIF writer (the original EXIF
data is passed to us from the camera viewcontroller in a NSDictionary).
To get the EXIF data separately, there is no support in the current API. I
reckon to do so Lorin would have to include an EXIF Reader (and he may do so
for unit tests), and someone can create a separate plugin for that feature that
you want.

> 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: 2.3.0
>
>
> 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?
