#2 — Customize unweb.iptc

I use unwed.iptc 0.3.1 to import metadata contained in my photos into a Plone image. I installed it properly. It works, sort of. At least most metadata was imported along with the image. There are a few modifications that need to be made in the import code: 1. The version name (which is in the metadata produced by Aperture, my photo processing software, upon export of an image) is currently imported into the short name (part of the URL). I need it to import the title (not version name) into the short name (title is exported into the metadata of the image, so it should be importable, as it is in the Title of the Plone image). 2. Location metadata (Image Location, Image City, State/Province and Country) import, but they are imported backward and the fields are not separated by commas. [Before we do #2, we need to find out if a lat/long is actually stored in the photo metadata. If so, then we need to think about how to automatically turn this into a place name in the location field of the Plone image upon import.] [I suspect lat/long is in the image metadata somewhere, as Google uses it to create a Location field in Aperture (the photo processing software I use). The Location field is populated even by county name.] [If we can use lat/long, then let's use it to populate the Location field in Plone's image type with English language place names. If there is no data in the lat/long metadata, then let's use what is imported into the Plone image type, as above (reversing order and inserting commas).] 3. No creation date is imported into the Publishing Date field. 4. The name that populates the Creator field in a Plone image is the same as it is in the creator metadata of the photograph. I need it to be transformed a bit. For example, "Marshall Mayer" is imported. I need it to be transformed from "Marshall Mayer" to "marshall-mayer" in the import process. Make this process independent of my name (example: "Mark Johnstone" is imported as "mark-johnstone"). These corrections will need to be made before I import all my photos. [I might want to do the exports from iPhoto, which many more people have to scale the app, so I will need to test this export first.]
