Description Philip Orr 2025-06-23 13:14:16 UTC
The file upload functionality in Koha could be improved by adding optional fields to enter author and license of the file being uploaded. And then showing those fields in the search results table in the file upload tool, so it would be easy to see which file is licensed.

Really like that idea as well.

This would allow for easy display of origin and author as well.

Since the beloved ExifTool is one of the big wins of Perl, maybe we can leverage it to read and write metadata to images.

The relevant formats for image metadata seem to be:
- IPTC
- XMP (Ugh, Adobe)
- EXIF
