Hello there!

I'm currently working on a product which heavily uses Media + WYSIWYG. The EXIF module would be a great addition to our product, and also provide some upstream functionality. I see the module needs co-maintainers and would like to offer my assistance.

Title: Offer to Co-Maintain » (Co-)Maintainenance, Exiftool

I wanted to avoid a separate issue, so I am updating this one. I am also working on a project that requires Exif/general metadata support for media. I also sympathize with the "exiftool" point in the project roadmap.

Since things can't wait (as always), I initially decided to see if the existing code could be reworked with few efforts and tried around a bit, however I quickly found the field-mapping approach too specific, while I really want something as generic as possible. Thus, the current state is that I am writing a file entity based solution with internal caching and token support, based on exiftool/Perl, from scratch.

If desired, I would provide the outcome as a suggestion/base for a 2.x branch. Let me know your thoughts.

The exiftool integration is done in branch 7.x (still not officialy released in a stable version).
