    Is there a way to have the site display EXIF data for posted photos, for example, via hover text or hitting an info button?

    Lower priority than the reply bug, but would be nice.

    This is speculation, but I hope it might be helpful.

    If one is able to add the "title" attribute to an image or the "longdesc" attribute one might put a few things from the exif metadata there.
    www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#adef-title
    Also there is a plugin for Chrome browser that displays some metadata: (for example) getpmd.iptc.org/getpmd/?imgurl=https://www.rsok.com/~jrm/2022Jun26_birds_and_cats/2022jun17_wildflower_IMG_9568cRL.jpg

    getpmd.iptc.org/getiptcpmd.html

    I do not run perl cgi programs on my web server and I do not know whether they can be secure. Exiftool is written in perl and "exiftool -h" will output an html table which might be displayed in an iframe if it is considered safe to do so. I expect that getpmd is doing something similar with images, but I do not know.

    I have never used Drupal, but it seems that it has some support: git.drupalcode.org/project/exif
    I do not know whether or not this is any help at all.

    Since much of this site seems to be based upon django, maybe there is a solution at: pypi.org/project/django-exiffield/

    I agree that EXIF data as implemented on DPReview or some other sites would be excellent.

    I've posted in 'Site feedback' how to do this for now in Chrome and Firefox. It was simply a matter of a quick google search....

    Yes, I have xlFR in Firefox. It is a nice EXIF program.
