Description Jens 2005-04-08 13:54:07 UTC
Version:           0.7.2-beta1 (using KDE 3.4.0 Level "a" , unofficial build of SUSE )
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.5-7.151-default

Currently even in "simple" details mode (IMHO) there is too much displayed in the image EXIF properties dialog.

I would like the EXIF descriptions to be
  - sorted, 
  - grouped by type of property in a tree, and
  - translated if possible

Example for sorting/grouping (see also Bug 91372):

   Camera
       Make, Model, Software, ExifVersion, ...
   Camera settings
       Exposure time, FNumber, ISO, Shutter, Aperture,
       Light source, Flash, Focal Length, Sensor,
       digi zoom, Contrast, Sharpness, ...
   Date
       DateTime, DateTimeOriginal, DateTimeDigitized
   Image properties
       X/Y resolution / unit, Pixel X/Y dimension,
       Orientation, Compression, 
       Compressed Bits Per Pixel, ...

Thanks!

Jens

SVN commit 515268 by cgilles:

digikam from trunk : Metadata support using Exiv2 :

- New image properties sidebar tab named "Metadata" instead old "Exif". This area include :

* Standard Exif tags viewer.
* MarkerNote Exif tags viewer.
* IPTC records viewer.

- New capability to copy metadata in clipboard like text.
- New capability to print metadata.
- Tags name use the "user Friendly" conversion from Exiv2 instead the internal name provided by old Exif viewer based on libkexif.
- Capability to read metadata from CRW files (Canon RAW files)
- New class DMetadata to load/save metadata without loading image data. Actually JPEG, CRW, and PNG files are supported. About PNG (Exif and IPTC raw profiles generated by ImageMagick are supported.

To support new file formats (like NEF, MRW, TIFF, DNG, etc), new image file parsers must be added to Exiv2 library.

IMPORTANT: 

- Exiv2 do not support yet gettext for i18n rules. All informations in metadata viewers aren't yet i18n (tags name, tags values, and tags descriptions)
- Any tag names use internal Exiv2 name, not the user friendly text transformations. This point must be fixed in Exiv2 libs.

To 0.9.0, these tools are just metadata readers. Writting capabilities (metadata editors) will added later 0.9.0. The files in B.K.O directly or indirectly relevant of this commits are listed below :
