A reasonable request. Gwenview uses Exiv2 to interpret image metadata. http://www.exiv2.org/metadata.html We will need an interface to use the edit functions. I like the idea. Something similar can be done from the command line like $ exiv2 modify --Modify 'set Exif.Image.Artist "Famous Artist"' testimage.jpg This item already got 20 supporting votes. To my big surprise this is the maximum count this board allows :-(( My best guess: There would be hundreds of upvotes if ever the omnipotent maintainers would care to know. and even better would do something. And yes I do know: It is much cooler to do new coding than to port the existing kiwi plugin. (In reply to linadmin from comment #3) > This item already got 20 supporting votes.

It is impolite to complain about devs not implementing an extra feature when they do not have any obligation to. Often that is actually unhelpful. If this is really important to you, investing your own time or money (to pay someone else) is the way to go. Perhaps it is useful to have a look at the changes that were made since this bug was filed: https://github.com/KDE/gwenview/commits/master You'll see that it has been mostly devs fixing stuff and keeping things up-to-date. There have been a few features added, but if you dig deeper, you'll find that this was done mainly by new devs, putting in the effort to add what they found valuable. After having looked at the commit list and having voted, how do you feel about your previous post? (In reply to Erik Quaeghebeur from comment #4) After having reprimanded me, you hopefully feel much better :p I know that it would be a useless fight against your windmills if I tried to convince you that you did not change my mindset. But worse: your invested time did not improve the bug count by any infinitesimal value...
