Photo Uploader should utilize IPTC/EXIF

Just started using Flock - so far I'm liking it!

I noticed when uploading that if I don't blank out the auto-filled Photo Title, it overwrites the IPTC Headline/Object Name that I've already filled in for that photo.

The Photo Uploader should either auto-populate by the IPTC/EXIF fields or have an option to not set those fields at all on upload.

Very minor issue, but I thought I'd share it.

Thanks,

ps. Forum software that lets you post with default "Your Name" - not so much. =(

Hey Eric,

We let people post with a default name because some do not want to post a name. We like to be accommodating, as we get a lot of users looking for simple, easy support on these forums.

Regarding your suggestion...I will put it on the feature request list.

I'm surprised this feature isn't yet there. As a photographer I tag all my photos and manage all of the IPTC/EXIF data. I don't want to have to enter the information twice so this make the flock uploader useless for me. Instead I'm still tied to using the sites specific uploaders.
