I've spent some time over the last couple days working on an initial onboarding flow for Take Stock. The basic idea is to highlight some features and then help the user enter their first film stock, camera, lens, and then import some photos. Currently you're just dumped into a completely empty app, which is, frankly, tedious.
I also want to add some default film stocks which can be imported.
Fixed the drop zones in Take Stock after moving the tabs to the sidebar. Now both the sidebar and table accept drops of the correct types.
One could argue this is too much, but I wanted to add a little whimsy to Take Stock so I spent some time tracking down the colors associated with a bunch of different film stocks to use as the tint color in the sidebar.
Ilford/Harmon do the most with every film and speed having its own color branding
I had a request for Take Stock to support pushing and pulling during development (I forget who asked) and I'm working on adding that for the next release.
My thought is to store it as the exposure compensation. So if the box speed is 100 and you push a stop you'll get ISO 100 and +1 EV in the metadata
Just released a new beta of Take Stock that includes new film stock and file source metadata along with some UI improvements.

Found another esoteric tag to add: File Source, which defines whether the image was made in a digital camera, film scanner, or flatbed scanner.
I don't know of any software which displays (or writes) the tag, but it'll there just in case.
Here's where I've landed for now. The process is included with the film name in the Software tag and the selection film color balance sets the light source and white balance tags. The white balance is always set to Manual because a film camera inherently can't do auto white balance
I'm trying to decide how to map some more values for the film stock to standard EXIF tags. I'm writing the film name to the Software tag, but I'm not sure what to do with the film type (negative/slide) and film process (C-41, E-6). I'd also like capture cross processing in some way, but that's a bonus
