hello!
today i upgraded from older gallery release to last gallery 2.3
i try to see a exif data of my imported pics, and found, i cannot chhose / see a "exposure time" parameter.
i have a lot of astropics via canon eos 350d, taken with "bulb" setting.
old gallery have too exposure time parameter, where he says, for ehample a "130s" value, i e 130 seconds.
in current gallery i can see only "Shutte speed value" - in this case, value is "Bulb", very non informative 
maybe anyone can help me with this problem?
others problem is setting a background color for gallery - in old version, this can be user defined, and in my case is "silver" - in new version i cannot find, where i can defined background color without edit a files manually. but this is a small problem, exposure time in exif is more vitally for me.

Post a url to the fullsized original photo in question.
there is a detail setting for the EXIF info. Did you add the parameters you want via the admin page of the EXIF module.
@Color: Color is controlled with colorpacks and CSS.

i try to add all available exif parameters in admin page / exif module configuration.
not see info about exposure length.
there is "exif data" from old gallery for the same photo:
m42 via 66sd
EXIF Data
File name : /var/www/sten/albums/astrophoto/IMG_3355.jpg
File size : 3811535 bytes
File date : 2009:01:05 16:27:40
Camera make : Canon
Camera model : Canon EOS 350D DIGITAL
Date/Time : 2009:01:01 21:53:49
Resolution : 3456 x 2304
Flash used : No
CCD width : 22.20mm
Exposure time : 130.000 s
ISO equiv. : 1600
Whitebalance : Auto
Metering Mode : matrix
Exposure : Manual
Exposure Mode : Manual
looks like old version uses jhead for exif data. dont know, what tool using in new version, but i not see a easy variant to let it show a exposure time.
looks like a old gallery is better. ;)

The 3rd party library we use to get the EXIF data is not under development anymore.
I guess you could edit the library to see if you can get the data you desire.

See if this works:
change modules/exif/classes/ExifHelper.class, around line 557
change
'SubIFD.ShutterSpeedValue', 'SubIFD.ExposureTime');to
'SubIFD.ExposureTime', 'SubIFD.ShutterSpeedValue');Dave

Thanks very much for help.now, after changes in exifhelper.class,gallery exif info on parameter "Shutter speed value" show right information about exposure time.
only one think - if exposure time is smaller than seconds, i e 1/30 or 1/100, then he show "1/30 sec" or "1/100 sec".
when time is on seconds and more, in this field shows only a value, not what, i e for 100 seconds is "100", for 150 is "150".
people who not know this, may be understand, what is a value in this field - seconds, minutes, hours, or what...?
maybe is a easy way of add a word "sec" to shutter speed value, if exposure time is bigger than fractions of seconds?
anyway, thanks very much for help!
PS also likes a new gallery works slower than old one - i e to show a picture takes a more time.maybe this is for that, in new gallery i set in php.ini memory limit from 8m to 24m? but this is not very important, later i search throught google / read gallery 2.3 docs, and i think, i can optimize performance without big problems
my server run on compaq p3 800 MHz desktop computer with 384 Mb ram and linux.
thank you again.

@speed: FAQ: Is it my imagination, or is G2 slower than G1?
