remove hide=true on fields with image type

[amwebb]

currently, a majority, if not all, composite fields of type="image" have hide="true" in meta-metadata. i think this is wrong, or at least problematic for our new metadata visualizations. i would like to remove hide="true" on all image fields. it should be an application's metadata visualization that decides whether or not to the show an image field and how to represent it (you may still want to show a link).

is this acceptable? it will require changes in existing metadata visualizations that do support showing images. if we agree, i will begin making the changes.

so for clients that do not support showing images:

1. if they do not change, the image will be shown as an ordinary composite that contains fields such as image location, referrer location, title and creation date.
2. the application can choose to hide the image by explicitly matching the field type with "image".
3. the application can possible show the image by using that location.

is that right?

it seems pretty acceptable to me.

Yin -- I think that is an excellent functional description of what it should do.

I would add that effected applications include ice, mâché,, android metadata viewer, and (theoretically) info composer.

Essentially, we are beginning a new era if metadata presentation.
