Description Petter Reinholdtsen 2005-05-22 12:01:38 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

The JPEG images have a GPS EXIF header.  This can be used to document where a
picuture was taken, and to organize a photo album using a map.  See
<URL:http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2004/06/15/gps_photo.html>
for an example.

It would be great if digikap were able to set this GPS EXIF header.  It
could behave similar to the geo data field in kaddressbook.  In kaddressbook,
is under the "Misc" tab when creating a new contact, one can mark
"Use geo data", and then select "Edit Geo data..." to get a nice world map
to click on.  (Even better would be if it could zoom into the map using one
of the free web mapping services, to make it easier to pinpoint the
location more accurately. :)

To be able to do this, I suspect libkexif need to be extended to be able to
write the GPS EXIF header.

The EXIF specifiaction for the GPS header is available from
<URL: http://www.exif.org/Exif2-2.PDF >.

I agree this would be a nice feature.

It would appear the exiftools http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/, will provide the functionality you are seeking in this bug report.

It is available in Debian as  libimage-exiftool-perl, which is available at http://packages.debian.org/libimage-exiftool-perl

However, extension of this into digikam via something like the kaddressbook geo entry system would be great for mass tagging files.

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 :

Comment 3 caulier.gilles 2006-04-10 15:41:20 UTC

GPS locator is complete for 0.9.0 release. Future GPS editor tool will be done later 0.9.0

There is already a file about this feature in #111560.

To reduce entries into B.K.O, i mark this file like dupplicate.

Please use #111560 to post all news comments. Thanks in advance.
