I don't know the EXIF format, but "flashUsed" is shown twice

after releasing this feature :)
Actually, it's "FlashUsed" -> 0 and "flashUsed" ->
"No". The EXIF data is
essentially free-form, decided by the manufacturer of the camera (though it
can be edited after capture with some tools too, of course).
The main problem is that a lot of cameras use quite odd names for some of
their fields, that there are very few bits of EXIF data that are actually
particularly useful, and that a lot of the more useful ones are in fact not
generated (I'm thinking of the standard names for GPS co-ordinates -
automagical location-generation would be terribly cool, though a bit of a
privacy risk for users, of course).
I'm interested to see what Magnus will decide to do with the data.
Yours,
