comments in exif data oder jpeg somments field

Christian Hentschel-2
Hi,

Although there exists the possibility in the options pane to store the
image comments directly in the jpeg-comments field this doesn't seem to
work for me. I just achieve to store the infor in the digikam light-db.
Is my exif-data entry corrupt? Am I doing something wrong or is this
feature just not completely implemented and if so when will it be ready
for use?
Any hints appreciated!
regards,
chris

Since digiKam 0.8.0, digiKam store Comments to JFIF section. Witch digiKam
release you use ?

until 0.8.2, digiKAm use libexif for that. With 0.9.0 release, we will use
Exiv2 library instead.

Send me a JPEG sample in private mail for that...

It's implemented.

Note : in 0.9.0 digiKam store comments in IPTC too.

Digikam & linspire 5.1.427

Kenneth Koym
Friends:
I do not understand what you have going back and forth. How can I make
Digikam work with linspire 5.1.427? I downloaded add on but due to a
move from one home to another and worries about a new used car, I can't
spend much time on Digikam.

If you cannot tell me, I will have to go back to microsoft word.

Kenneth

I assume that English isn't your first language so will give you the
benefit of the doubt, but that really doesn't make any sense!

* What do you mean "going back and forth"?
* What has your moving home and new car got to do with Digikam?
* In what way can you use MS Word as a replacement for Digikam? (or vice
versa - they are two completely different product types!).

ok, ok, ok. Yes, this is implemented in... 0.9.0 only, not 0.8.x !

The implementation look over the simple idea of restoring Comments from
files :

- Comments from JFIF section, or from Exif section, or from IPTC section.
Implemented, work fine.
- Rating from IPTC. Implemented, work fine.
- Internal Time stamp from Exif or IPTC. Implemented, work fine.
- Tags form IPTC : implemented but not tested. In fact all tags are stored in
IPTC (both than database), but the restoration in database is not yet
complete. I have planed to do it for 0.9.0 final release.

This is the rule of IPTC for sharing meta-informations between applications.

The only constraint is than IPTC only support ascii char. This is can be a
problem with comments and tags. There is no solution fix IPTC about this
problem (IPTC is an oldest norme). But the future is to use XMP witch support
UTF8. This is planed when Exiv2 library will support it.

Pardon?  Maybe I missed your earlier posting.

What's you problem?  Error msg?  Which digikam version?

> If you cannot tell me, I will have to go back to microsoft word.

With information about your problem we can tell you anything.

Re: Digikam & linspire 5.1.427

Achim, I installed the standard version of Digikam available to Linspire CNR Gold clients on 7-9-06. I just checked to see what version and do not see any indication of what version was installed. Perhaps you could check what version Digikam supplies Linspire users with and advise me how to activate the new installation. Is there a wizard available? If so, how does one get it to work?

This is nothing to do with digikam.

Digikam is free software provided under an open license. It is up to the
various distributions to package this up and support their customers.

Unless you want to start building your own version of digikam from
source, then the people here wont be able to help you.

Take your query to the folks at Linspire as they are the ones who have
taken the Digikam source code from here and packaged it up into the
Click N Run package you have installed. It is those people you must
speak to for support.
