Today, after some upload, I tried to add a XMP/IPTC meta to multiples images and it does not seem easy to add a free/customized field (for example XMP:Perso:PicasaAlbum=URL). The right panel does not allow to add/edit some XMP/IPTC fields. You need to look in menu Image > Metadata > Modify all meta. Even in this case, I didn't find how to do above action. For now, just add a uploaded tag :( but can't even manually save a link to the album. comments ? Thanks. The export items and with or without metadata to a remote web service is a feature that we need to be factored to all export tools. For the moment, factoring is under progress and take time, but it's planed... Gilles Caulier Hello Gilles. Ok, no problem. Thanks for the information. at least you seem to say that's possible. *** Bug 297287 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Shourya, See also bug #250759 for Facebook tool. Gilles Shourya, See also bug #309916 for Facebook tool. Gilles *** Bug 271647 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Shouyria, See MediaWiki tool options where metadata management while upload is possible : https://www.flickr.com/photos/digikam/17922787552/in/dateposted-public/ Gilles Caulier Great. We can take inspiration from this tool while adding metadata management feature in common API that will be created in libkipiplugins. *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** WARNING : with digiKam 6.0.0 and later, we will not support kipi interface anymore. All tools are now located in digiKam core as well for a plan to provide a more power-full integration with Batch Queue Manager and to be able to export a workflow on a web-service. All export tools are now available everywhere : album view, Image editor, Light table, and Showfoto. Previously, only album view from digiKam core was able to deal with export tools through libkipi. All export tools are now located here : https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/core/utilities/assistants/webservices All export tools use now a dedicated interface to communicate with the application : - digiKam (database) : https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/core/libs/database/utils/ifaces/dbinfoiface.h - Showfoto (files metadata) : https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/core/utilities/assistants/common/dmetainfoiface.h There is not direct use of digiKam database for compatibility with Showfoto. We plan later to provide a dynamic loading of export tools using a plugins mechanism. This will reduce overloading of the internal core libraries. A dedicated devel branch have been created for that, but it's not yet complete: https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/?h=development/dplugins But take a care, digiKam export tools as plugins will not be shared with another external application. API will still private and only shared between Showfoto and digiKam core. The experience with libkipi was bad and complex to maintain/extend in time. Gilles Caulier |
