When importing, the resulting shape file's attribute fields are all string type. (Which is logical, cause as far as i know, exif informations have no other types than string).
My example: I would like to use the GPSImgDirection field as the rotation field for arrows, indicating the ... well .. image direction. As string, it doesn't work, so extra steps have to be done to get a layer to be able to work with.
There might be other numerical tags or custom tags with number content other than those GPS-Informations. Having the possibility to influence the field type for a tag would help to streamline the hole process of retrieving the needed informations from the images.
