Seems like a no-brainer feature to have, specifically regarding the date and location properties of images.
And yes, I know I can use VZ Exif, but for performance reasons, I'd prefer to have that metadata in Assets' DB instead of reading the data from the filesystem every time.
I'd just like to point out that, in order to read EXIF data, you must have PHP compiled using --exif-enabled flag, which is not something all hosting parties provide, hence Assets is not sporting this feature, but this is on our list of things to do, probably by using some 3rd party library for this, that parses jpg files.
Yes, you are correct with the plugin "VZ EXIF", all the EXIF data are being fetched for that file dynamically. I couldn't see such any file handling field type which stores EXIF data also.
I think, a field type or module can be developed for it which would be great :).
As far as I know it can. You'll find details in the P&T Assets docs including parameters for date, date_modified, and location.
