Description Michael Chudobiak 2009-05-21 15:51:57 UTC 
The trunk version tries to import comments from the exif metadata.

Unfortunately, some cameras fill out these fields with useless entries like "Sony SillyCam 3000".

Should we:

1) Hard code in a stupid comment filter?

2) Have an option to wipe out comment fields in the importer?

3) Other?

I vote for 2), which would be active by default.
Comment 2 Michael Chudobiak 2009-05-27 12:22:59 UTC 
We need #2 for sure, and maybe #1 to deal with old photos.

The importer comment-erase option has been added to trunk.

Comment 4 Michael Chudobiak 2009-06-05 13:24:03 UTC 
OK, there is now a hard-coded stupid comment filter also. So far, the only filter match is for "OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA".

Comment 5 Michael Chudobiak 2009-06-05 14:04:07 UTC 
Actually, the hard-coded filter seems to work fine, so I'm removing the erase-on-import tool. I would prefer to avoiding editing (and possibly mangling) incoming files.
