yes, the first part of the work I did (the hardest) was to have the possibility to use files metadata during database update. Indeed, when you add files, on the update result page, it tells you :

- the number of pictures added
- the number of pictures removed
- ask you if you want to synchronize metadata

In the configuration section of the admin panel, you can ask to use EXIF and/or IPTC during metadata synchronization.


In the very near future (this week), I'll add the possibility to "show" metadata under each picture (please, note the difference between "use metadata" and "show metadata")
