Hi John,

I've never heard of anyone doing this but here's how I would go about it.

1. Get hold of a metadata extractor that can read your image stream. This should do it.

2. Create a custom media type based on the default image type that has extra properties to hold the data you need.

3. Create an eventhandler for MediaService.Saved that extracts the metadata creates a new instance of your custom type, and extracts the EXIF data to that type saving it whenever an image is saved.

4. Create an eventhander for GatheringNodeData that you can use to add the data from your properties to the examine index

There's a fair whack of code to write but it should all be possible.
