gpssync manual?

[Gandalf Lechner]

hi everyone,

i just discovered the screenshot of the gpssync plugin and wonder if it is
possible to use it also for entering the position data of the photos
manually. in my installation of digikam, i have a "gps" sheet under the
metadata entries, but there seems to be no way to edit the gps data. how to
use the plugin as shown in
http://digikam3rdparty.free.fr/Screenshots/newkipigpssyncplugin.png ?

thanks in advance,

gandalf

You need a very recent (svn) version of digikam.
The beta2 doesn't include the gpssync plugin.

So, you will have to build it yourself from svn. Check here :
http://www.digikam.org/?q=download/svn

To edit the gps data, click on one or more pictures and go to Image/GPS
Sync.

If you install it you can use it to enter co-ordinates in manually.
 From the Image menu select GPS Sync, then clicking the edit buttons
displays google maps and allows you to zoom in to select a location.
Then just apply to the images you selected.

I don't think gspsync has been released yet as a stable release so you
might have to fetch the kipi plugins from svn and compile/install yourself.

Cheers,

BAB

Thanks for the help, now I have the gpssync plugin up and running - it is
precisely what i was looking for for quite some time! Here I would like to
add a few comments/suggestions:

Handling:
- At first I didn't realize the plugin was already installed correctly because
there was no way to edit the gps data from the metadata/gps menu, but only
through the image menu. Maybe there could be a button like eg "add gps data"
in the metadata/gps menu if no entry has been made already.

Functionality/Wishes:
- In manually selecting the photo location, it would be great to be able to
zoom in/out with mouse wheel up/down, as in googleearth. Helps a lot in
finding the right location quicker.
- A feature which would be great for organizing travel pics would be automatic
tagging according to the gps data. I imagine a keyword structure "location"
with subkeywords continent/country/city. A gps entry with corresponding data
would then result in associating the keyword Location/Europe/Italy/Rome with
this picture.
- Another feature I would love to have is an overview world map with stickers
at all the places where fotos with corresponding gps entries are located, and
maybe the possibility to select a set of pics by dragging the mouse over some
area on this map.

Thanks a lot to the developers for this plugin!

Regards,

Gandalf

One wish I would add :

- When a GPS track is loaded, display it on google maps using a semi
transparent line above the map. Google maps API provides a way to do
this, you just need to give an array of coordinates.

Here is an example :
http://www.lix.polytechnique.fr/~jnarboux/phd/lri.html

The same could be done also for pictures (after sorting the currently
selected picture according to exif time link them by a blue line)

Digikam rocks!

Regards,

Julien

Please, please, please, use B.K.O for all wishes. All these informations

Thanks advance.

Impossible. GPSSync use javascript fonctionnality provided by googlemaps, not
the C/C++ API (not availalble outside google).

According to discussions in the google maps group, there seem to be solutions
for zooming with the mouse wheel:
