Question Exposure in header in PYP section not very adequate

**Rense** · 12-08-2009, 02:13 PM

Adam, sometimes the exposure settings etc. in the PYP section are quite annoying, for instance if you post more than 1 photo. Leaving the entries blank isn't possible (as far as I tried) and with different photos the settings are most likely not equal...

The fields can be left blank in favor of typing everything underneath the photo manually, actually.

Perhaps in the future I can make this system smarter, but for now, try leaving the fields alone,

Leaving the fields blank isn't possible with the aperture and shutterspeed, is it? I tried, but there is no blank in the pop-up lists....

EDIT: I tried it again, and I find it impossible to set aperture and shutterspeed to blank. Probably it's easy to add this 'value' to the pu-lists? I would be happy to have it, and I see many (suspected) wrong indications in the PYP right now....

What about getting rid of the pull down lists and just leaving a blank, fill-in box? I've found that my EXIF data doesn't always line up the the pre-selected shutter speeds/aperture settings also. We already fill in focal length, camera, and other info.

The same here....

I've now added a blank option at the bottom of every dropdown.

I'm considering changing them to textboxes, except that would make the lazy people completely ignore them
