Adding "camera model" to Images page in Admin

[witty]

Hi,

How can I add the camera model to the list of details about an image in the "Images" section of the Admin interface?

I've already figured out how to print "Camera Model:" to the screen, right under "Tags:", but I need to know how I can get the images_edit.php file to print $info_camera_model next it.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Use the custom_field addon

As far as I know, the Images menu does not read any exif data (if that's where you want to pull the data from) when it displays those images. Is there a reason why you want that in your admin interface? If it's only that you wish to see that in the admin interface I would suggest tagging the images with the camera name.

Well, I take my pictures with a variety of different camera models. So it's a fairly important piece of data for my purposes. To be able to see that detail from the admin interface would be really helpful. But I can manage without it. I thought that maybe I could edit the images_edit.php file to "require" the exif PHP files... but I don't know enough about coding PHP to make it happen. Oh well.

Because there is no answer. I will write an addon and then release it to the public. But I've found contacting people outside the forums works faster. Witty will be my testperson.
