I am the developer of the android app APhotoManager
https://github.com/k3b/APhotoManager/and i would like to have some metadata sync mechanism between
my android app and digikam.
since i have no experience in c++/kde programming i donot know where to start to make it as easy as possible for the digikam side.
My current situation:
* On Pc (win64) i have 17000 taged high-res photos in different (sub-)folders
* On Android i have the same photos but with low resolution (1024*x or x*1024)
While viewing the low res photos on android i sometime update the keywords and gps-infos and rename/move/copy/delete jpg/xmp-files. This info should be send back from android to the pc-photos.
On pc side i update keywords, gps, title, description, filepath which should be synced to android.
Currently i have a metadata sync procedure (
https://github.com/k3b/APhotoManager/wiki/sync ) that uses exiftools on the pc side:
* pc to android: use exiftool to generate csv file with meta data that android app can read
* android to pc: android generates mswindows batchfile with all meta data changes that is executed on pc.
Is there already a datafileformat that digikam can read/write that i can also implement?
I am willing to implement the android side. Is there somebody who can implement the-digikam/plugin side
Note this issue is not about copying jpg/xmp files but applying keywords/gps/title/descrtiption/filepath on the other side, too
