Autofill image description from IPTC

I've started trying to go through and get some organization done in my collection of photos so far, and as such I'm going through filling descriptions and keywords and stuff in the IPTC for files. Then it occurred to me that it might make sense if zenphoto could pull out the image description when you upload a new file, saving me a step in building an album. I don't think this is currently possible, right? Part of me suspects that it's probably not too hard to do this, but I haven't poked my head through the code enough to figure out exactly where images are added to the database as they're found.

    Well, I guess great minds think alike. Zenphoto will pull out EXIF/IPTC data. Most popular fields are retrieved. If there are ones you need which are missing, post a note.

    Well, apparently they don't think alike, otherwise I would have actually tried that before posting :P. Excuse me while I go slink off into a corner. My only defense is it didn't back when I first starting using the software, and I must not have paid enough attention to exactly what IPTC support was added.
