Edit metadata and geotagging plugins

[Alberto Garcia Quesada]

Hi,
I am testing the last version of the news kipi-plugins "Geotagging" and "Edit
Metadata" and  I have somes questions:

- "Geotagging" plugin work fine. Perhaps I think will be a good idea add an
menu like "Favorite sites" or "Place of startup" or a "remember last
position" ¿somebody live in Latitude:0 and Longitude:0 ? :DD

Nevertheless I dont know how work plugins "Edit metadata". If I select somes
photos and edit any field of IPTC, work fine. But ..

- If I edit the info IPTC in a field "Caption IPTC" (corresponding at comments
field) the new data dont appear in a inputbox of "Comments" but yes in the
list IPTC info. Where is this info? in basedata? I have probe to restart
Digikam without changes.
It happens the same with "Starts of clasification" (Field IPTC Urgency) and
others. In other words, the info that I set ór add by "Edit metadata" is not
accesible/readable from Digikam.

-If selected somes photos, and the first photo have a data in (by
example) "Copyright", but not the others, I cannot set the same value for all
photos, because (I think) the program dont detect any changes. I must enter a
new value, and reenter at initial value from set all photos with the
correct "Copyright"

- A question: Is posible some feature to know if the information is save on
the basedata ór embed. I have thinking in some icon in sidebar or similar.

Thanks in advance

Indeed, that raises an interesting point:

Gilles, would it be possible to extent the usual tags by
and additional (but optional) latitude/longitude information?
Then the usual tagging could provide the geographical information
as well (Of course this makes only sense for
for pictures taken at the same place, e.g. at home etc.).

Best,

Arnd

Please look if a whish is not present in kipi-plugins B.K.O, under GPSSync
component. If no, please create a new one.

Thanks in advance

I don't really guess what you would like.
Do you mean you would like to add a geolocalization for tags ?
Eg: you add a tag (eg Helsinky or summer2006) and you want localization
for that ?
IMHO, it looks a bit weird as tags usually don't describe a specific
place (or not only...).

One suggestion I had would be to be able to search for pictures within a
specific range (eg 10kms around a specific point or above 2000m). But,
this kind of features would need the database to also keep these
geolocalization informations. (later than 0.9 according to Gilles).

Do you think this feature would be useful for you ?

It seems to be up now :)

OK, so I better wait with adding this to the BKO and
try to explain better what I have in mind:

> Do you mean you would like to add a geolocalization for tags ?

yes.

Well, maybe for the first (though this is already quite unprecise),
almost certainly not for the second.

I agree. Hoever, but for some tags this can be true, e.g.
- location of the home
- location of friends houses
- prominent places in a town etc.
(e.g. all shots at one party at one place could fall into such
a category).

But maybe the original suggestion of Cuaderno
to have a menu like "Favorite sites" or "Place of startup" in GPSSync
(maybe also including a zoom-level)
would be the simplest: just choose the corresponding entry
and apply it to all selected images.

Yes, that would definitively be nice!

It's stored in a section of JPEG file dedicaced to store IPTC.

Something is missing in digikam kipi interface to rescan automaticly files
where metadata have change to sync database.

Only JPEG file can be set actually. it's a limitation of Exiv2 libarary witch
rules metadata. PNG and TIFF/RAW files will be acceded in writing mode later.

The plugin is not yet written to do that.
