But it needs to be extended with all the names of the EXIF parasites. So I will try to do that this week. Basically, I think that it would be enough to use the name "gimp-blah" for each "blah" field of the EXIF data and simply copy the descriptions given in the EXIF standard. Some of the fields will have to be discarded (or set read-only or not persistent) because they only make sense for the original file format and are irrelevant once the image is converted to an RGB bitmap. I will probably start with the list given in: http://pmt.sourceforge.net/exif/drafts/d020.html
