EXIF, iPhoto and image titles

[David Bovill]

Yes - thats the Spotlight option. AFAIK - that's the only option for
metadata for QuickTime movies. However there is a problem in that the
ability to index NAS storage with Spotlight was added I believe with Leopard
- and certainly Spotlight metadata is only showing very minimal setting from
Tiger for files stored on the NAS. This may be possible to fix by forceing
the indexing or it may be a Tiger limitation.

Either way the ability to store an image title as an EXIF header Id think
must be possible? Seems a little baffling to me that you get EXIF tags like
"BeamLimitingDeviceLeafPairsSeq" and the closest you get to title is
"AlbumTitle"?
