Adding notes to photos

Dmitri Popov
Hello,

Just a quick question. Is there a way to add notes or descriptions to photos in digiKam?

Thanks,
Dmitri

Re: Adding notes to photos

Dmitri Popov
Of course! I knew I was missing something obvious. Thanks you, Gilles!

Just one more question. I can see that captions are written in the User Comment fields of EXIF metadata. It's a bit off-topic, but do you know whether it's possible to extract a caption from a specific photo using the exiftool utility? I'd like to write a script that extracts captions from photos in a specific directory and saves the extracted captions in a text tile.

Thanks,
Dmitri

I've found the answer the minute I posted my reply:

exiftool -UserComment *.jpg

Thanks,
Dmitri

Just a note : Comments is written in different place.

http://lxr.kde.org/source/extragear/graphics/digikam/libs/dmetadata/dmetadata.cpp#251

The best one is XMP:

You can set more than one comment in different language and for
different author ! This is the power of XMP, against IPTC and EXIF.
