Hello Peter,

I wish to improve the metadata handling in W2E, but I still need to understand what is better.

We can get metadata from multiple source:
1) filename: the filename can contain author/title/other infos.
2) native document metadata: many document formats (.ost, rtf, .doc…) can store some metadata. The document title, the creator and other data can be available in such fles.
3) special W2E metadata fields: to better handle the metadata, W2E adds many user fields to the original documents. So, the document can embed some data difficult to fit in the field of naive documents (like original title, first publishing date, isbn and so on)

Now I ask to all:
what must I do when one or more of the data sorce are available? Must I replace 3) with 2) if 2) is present? Or 3) must overwrite 2)?
Other suggestions?

thanks

Luke
