Before to patch something, use last stable kipi-plugins (0.4.0), or better, code from svn trunk. Gilles Caulier I'm not on my computer at the moment so I just set the kipi-plugins to what I thought was the latest stable release. If I make a patch it will be against trunk. I would like to have it to where it would be smart enough to save the names as tags. it could be done by reading the description and filtering out "In this photo: " saving the name as one tag and using a comma as the divider for the next tag. the comment saved as meta-data would be nice also. look at the facedown java program for an example on how to access the comment and tags on facebook. The gui also needs a little love. Im in the process of making a mockup of a better way to design the gui and will post it as a seperate wish towards this plugin.

It's easy to do... Gilles Caulier I'm afraid I doubt I'll get to it any time soon, up to my eyes with real world stuff, sorry! I don't think this is too off-topic, but I've recently been considering something very similar (I also want this applied to the SmugMug plugin), only I've been wanting to use the tags and descriptions in Digikam for keywords/tags and the caption. Since, as I understand it, kipi-plugins is "unaware" of the Digikam DB, I've been unsure of the best method to implement this idea. Am I correct? Where are the image description and tags, as seen in Gwenview, stored? Any other thoughts?

libexiv2 - Language alternative accessor fix (KExiv2::getXmpTagStringLangAlt())
details are in the patch header
Hello, I am not a KDE developer but was courious why this doesn't work as I needed to upload my vacation pics to FB. The problem is on two levels: 1) the kipi plugin - doesn't specify the language alternative when querying the xmp and iptc metadata. The only case when a caption gets transferred to FB is when the user uses 'x-default' as the language alternative. In that case, it the caption lands in the a normal exif comment (in parallel to xmp and iptc) and that works. But we want to use XMP and iptc and all those nice things, right? The underlying kexiv2 library, as an adapter for the exiv2 library, doesn't provide a 'default' caption value if no language has been specified. Therefore, I consider this as a bug in kipi plugins. The first patch (fb-caption-hack) shows how to get at least something from the FB backend for now. It calls for a separate UI control for the caption language alternative. The header in the patch explains the details. I have checked the upstream sources of the fb plugin and it looks like that language alternatives are not being handled there, too 2) kexiv2 - even if we specify a language alternative (as showed in fb-caption-hack patch), the captions still won't work. The reason is that kexiv2 is broken, too, and doesn't handle the caption correctly. It looks like kexiv2 relies on a broken/disappeared functionality of exiv2 and performs parsing of the language alternatives on its own instead of using the functionality available in exiv2 library. I am attaching a second patch(lang-alt-fix) that applies towards the kexiv2 library - in debian it's part of the entire kdegraphics package. I was not able to locate kexiv2's SVN repository on the web, so I cannot tell whether the patch is still relevant. (In reply to comment #11) > part of the entire kdegraphics package.

SVN: svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdegraphics/libs/libkexiv2/ Web frontend: http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdegraphics/libs/libkexiv2/ Just wondering if there is any will to get this fixed at least on the libkexiv2 level? Could anyone comment on the libkexiv2 patch that I have provided? Thanks, Jan Jan, i don't have take a look at your Kexiv2 patch... I will do it... But please take a look of the new feature to support image title in digiKam 2.2.0 : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155374 i currently review in-deep patches from this entry. Picasa and Flickr tool will support title property. I will be nice to support title in Facebook tool too... Gilles Caulier Jan, To not lost your work, the libkexiv2 patch must be moved in another entry relevant of this library. The lead subject of this entry will be fixed by a near commit from : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155374 Please open a new file with your patch into digiKam/libkexiv2 component.
