Right now Rev uses the OS APIs to get the file info, so it's about as
efficient as it can be.
I can see the benefit of using EXIF, but since this requires additional
work and processing time, and only applies to a subset of a very small
number of file tyes, this sounds like an excellent candidate for an
external.
Anyone here interested in writing it?
