No IPTC info displayed when image is from URL in 1.5 beta

[Chris]

If I add an image using the control panel, the IPTC info is processed and also displayed in the gallery when if I upload the image from my computer.

If I delete and then add the same image again using a URL instead of uploading from my computer, the IPTC info is NOT displayed.

These tests were done using the default templates.

Wenn ich ein Bild mit der Steuerverkleidung addiere, wird das IPTC Info verarbeitet und angezeigt auch in der Galerie wenn, wenn ich das Bild von meinem Computer hochlade. Wenn ich lösche und dann das gleiche Bild addiere, das wieder ein URL verwendet, anstatt, von meinem Computer zu hochladen, wird das IPTC Info NICHT angezeigt. Diese Tests wurden mit den Rückstellung Schablonen durchgeführt.

Yes, thats right. It seems that PHP can't parse the IPTC tags from images who are stored on remote servers.

Yeah I figured iptcparse() wouldn't handle the URL.  I tried anyway since the URL is for the same domain.  My plan is to eventually export from Cumulus or Portfolio and do a batch import directly to the db using my own scripts in a couple months.

Thanks.  This isn't critical and I can get by just fine without it.

By the way, big thanks for adding support for custom database fields!  I will definitely leverage that for displaying meta data I track in my own asset management software.
