Hello,
Image Uploader is a great client side tool, however I'd like to pre-fill the description/title etc. fields with exif/iptc information.
Thus client side access to exif/iptc would be best way to do it, however these properties are available only server side.
Would it be feasible to retrieve exif+iptc to client side by
1) first uploading exif+iptc with very small thumbnails, quietly behind when the files are added to upload list (massaging upload list Send from UploadFileCountChange ? and restogin uploadlist selections), and then
2) retrieving exif+iptc to client side using callback (from AfterUpload ?).
Any help on this is appreciated!

Hello, You can realize the algorithm you describe, but It is highly non-recommended, because it has the effect on user interface. Also some files can be lost. I recommend you to use the following method: - Extract necessary exif/iptc fields using ExtractExif/ExtractIptc and send them on server
- After upload process completes, show to users the page like gallery where they can correct or add appropriate information in exif/iptc fileds
- Save new exif/iptc information on server
