extract image metadata in gallery app

Hello

I was wondering if there is any way, plugin, script, jquery etc that I can use to extract the image metadata from images uploaded to gallery app to display with the image.

Has anyone done this before, any ideas, possibilities?

Thank you.

The Gallery app doesn't do that. It requires the PHP EXIF extension, which isn't often available.

Do you think it would be possible if I had the extension installed on my server?

Apparently Exif is enabled. Is there anyway do you think of doing this? would it be possible without the gallery app maybe?

The Gallery app doesn't do it, as outlined. You can do it on your own if you know PHP.
