[digiKam-users] Export tags from images

[Pedro Neves]

Hi all:

Is there a way to export a list of tags (comma separated or such) from a set of images to a file? I.e., select albums or images and export a list of all the tags that are assigned to those images?

Thanks in advance...

All the best:

Pedro

Hi
May be useful: digitaglinktree
'Archive mode is thought for people who want to archive tagged photos
independently of digikams root directories and the photos therein. This
way you can put your photos and their tag structure in eg. a tar archive'

Hi Pedro,

I use exiftool, an excellent command line tool available both for linux and windows, for such purposes,

Hi:

@[hidden email]

I saw digitaglinktree but it seemed that it would only replicate my tag structure on another location on disk, which is not what I want.

@ Anders

exiftool could, indeed, be an option. I'll have a look and see if if can come up with a script to automate this...

Thanks to all.

Cheers:

Pedro

Sorry to butt in, but...

Can you give an example of how to do it? I'm very interested.

Thanks

Hi,

If you want the tags (including the hierarchical tree) for one file:

exiftool -TagsList filename.ext 

Or if you want the tags (without the hierarchical tree) for all jpg files in current folder

exiftool -Keywords *.jpg

Best Regards

Anders
