I would like to be able to import my IPTC commends into the database, instead of reading them as I display the picture, but can't figure out how to do it. any ideas or hacks for this?
Currently Plogger does not have support for IPTC; however, there is a Trac ticket (#118) requesting the addition of IPTC support, along with the corresponding forum thread. The milestone for the Trac ticket is 2.0 (we're currently working on 1.0 now), so I'm not sure how quickly this will get implemented.
