@electrolund: just add “?file_gallery_debug” to the end of your url, like this: http://www.electrolund.com/2012/01/if-a-tree-falls-in-your-backyard/?file_gallery_debug

I’m not sure what the output will be, though, probably not much, as I haven’t been adding any new output to it :/

@theangryluddite: there’s a help file included with the plugin, and here’s an online version: http://skyphe.org/wp-content/plugins/file-gallery/help/index.html

basically, just select attachments you wish to include into a gallery, choose gallery options, and click on the “insert a gallery” button.

repeat as many times you want 🙂

This is default WordPress behavior, yes. As File Gallery inserts icons instead of text, I’ll see about including caption for non-images in v1.7.5 – thanks for spotting it 🙂

@electrolund: take a look here: http://regex.info/exif.cgi?dummy=on&imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftodayilearned.co.uk%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2011%2F09%2Fcat-makes-friends-with-a-baby-deer-in-Odessa-zoo-in-Ukraine.jpg

EXIF data from this particular image is copied to attachment title and description correctly when uploaded via WordPress.

The function responsible for parsing EXIF data is wp_read_image_metadata.

See the “Return Values” section to see which EXIF values translate to which attachment fields.

@bryan: eh… something’s definitely wrong here.

that <span class diff> should contain only 300x225;#;#;jpg, not the whole link…

I’ll let you know as soon as I figure it out.

@electrolund: take a look here for a similar question and a quick solution: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-file-gallery-exif-in-template?replies=3

I guess it would be wise to implement EXIF-to-description by default, and have an option on the media settings page so users can switch it on/off.

I’ll put it on my todo list for v1.7.5.

And thank you for the nice comments, I’m glad you like the plugin 🙂

@bryan: I need two things from you 🙂

1.) please post just the filename of the initial medium photo
2.) take a look at the source of the page you have the gallery on, and find a line that looks like this:

<dl class="gallery-item">
	<dt class="gallery-icon">
    	<span class="diff">-300x225;#;#;jpg</span>

and paste here the contents of that <span class="diff"> element.

also, I’m stupid – already replied here with an answer: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-file-gallery-simple-template-without-thickbox
