Thanks list admin :-/ Thorsten |
Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: Compiled From Sources OS: Linux exiv2 is able to write geodata metadata into e.g png files. Its easy to tests this: Take a jpeg, add geo-data with the kipi-plugin, open in digikams image editor and save as png. You will see, the geo-data are part of the png metadata. But you can not add these geo-tag direct into a png, as you can find code like this in this plugin: [...] // We only add all JPEG files as R/W because Exiv2 can't yet // update metadata on others file formats. QFileInfo fi(url.path()); QString ext = fi.extension(false).upper(); bool ret = false; if (ext == QString("JPG") || ext == QString("JPEG") || ext == QString("JPE")) { [...] So, the comment in the source code is definitely wrong and to test the file format a simple extention is used. What about kde standard test to check a filetype based on MIME data? KMimeType::Ptr type = KMimeType::findByURL("/home/bernd/foobar.jpg"); vs KMimeMagicResult *result = KMimeMagic::self()->findFileType("/home/bernd/foobar.jpg"); (from: http://developer.kde.org/documentation/library/kdeqt/kde3arch/mime.html ) Bye Thorsten
