    This would be very helpful.  We currently have to manually put this info into each form we use.  having this info available would save a lot of time and really add important functionality to iForm.

    Re-upping this feature request. Would anyone else out there find it useful to also have the direction a photo was taken recorded in the metadata when captured inside iForms? Would make a huge difference to photo-based data and workflows! 

    UPDATE: Looks like Altitude is now included! Almost there...

    Kam,

    Thanks for re-upping. This is good feedback and is noted by the team. Also, not sure if you know of any services of more advanced image functionalities that we can have a look at integrating with? Here is one that one of our customers is using: https://www.companycam.com/ Basically they take pictures on this service separately while performing work on iForm.

    Thanks, Penny. I've seen a few similar products/services slide through my inbox but don't remember their names. We don't use a separate photo capture service at the moment. Our photos are used in different ways for different projects and surveys and are rarely what our work flows revolve around, so a separate service entirely for photos might be more than we need but will take a look at the link you sent.

    Re-Re-Upping :-) ... This addition would be extremely helpful. I understand you can get the EXIF data from the photo itself but this requires moving the actual photo from the device to local storage and breaks the link to any other data collected along with the photo. I don't see why it would be too hard to achieve as the device stores this information (if enabled) with the metadata associated with the photo. I would suspect that it would just be adding some code to interrogate and record this information. I really think this feature request should be considered. As always, would appreciate iForm's view on the matter.

    Kind Regards
