#14453 closed enhancement (wontfix)

Account for iPhone 4's bad image meta data values

Description

Images taken with the iPhone 4 get a meta data title of "Back Camera". It'd probably be a good idea to specifically blacklist this value.

Stupid thing.

I've attached a sample image that can be used for testing.

Note I said "probably be a good idea". I'm more opening this ticket for discussion than anything. I mean, should we be correcting for bad EXIF on popular devices in order to help users? Or is it not our problem?

Anyway, the sample image too big to attach. Here it is hosted on one of my servers instead:

Is this still an issue with iOS5? If not, suggesting wontfix.

  • Resolution set to wontfix
  • Status changed from new to closed

Looking at the EXIF data of an image I just took off my iPhone 4 with iOS 5 on it, it looks like the "Title" and "Subject" fields no longer are filled with garbage like they were under iOS 4.

So we can close out this ticket. :)
