Hello, Martin!
Please add ability to read tags from files.
Standard EXIF tags you can find there: http://www.exiv2.org/tags.html
For MS Windows users would be handy tagging images from Explorer, without any other software. It is the preferred option for me, but it will specific EXIF tags (XPTitle, XPComment, XPAuthor, XPKeywords, XPSubject). This can cause problems for users of other operating systems and programs, which uses other tags for same information.
Gallery can read first Exif.Image.XP<Tag>'s and if they not presented read other EXIF tags:
Exif.Image.ImageDescription = Exif.Image.XPTitle => Image Title
Exif.Image.Artist = Exif.Image.XPAuthor => Image Author
Exif.Photo.UserComment = Exif.Image.XPComment => Image Description
Exif.Image.XPKeywords => Image Keywords
I prepared tagged images for test (two folders in archive: tagged from Windows Explorer and tagged with exiv2): Download
