exif_helper.module in Exif 6

Intention of this little module: exif.module needs to have a weight of -10 at least it has to be processed before CCK is processed, so that EXIF information can be taken from the fields and be written into the CCK fields.

Problem: We don't want to display the emty fields on node creation, since they are reserved for exif information -> we don't want to confuse users with this, so are going to make them hidden -> Information needs to be processed AFTER CCK.

Solution: Creating a new little module.
