Summary: resizing images removes EXIF information
Product: [Applications] digikam Reporter: Sebastian Kügler <sebas>

Status: RESOLVED FIXED    
Severity: normal CC: caulier.gilles

Version First Reported In: unspecified

Description Sebastian Kügler 2004-11-11 00:26:43 UTC 
Version:           0.7 (using KDE KDE 3.3.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          3.4.3 
OS:                Linux

Steps to reproduce:
--------------------
* Check EXIF information of an image
* use resize plugin from Tools -> Batch Processes -> Resize Images
* Check EXIF information of resized images - It's gone. :(

Expected behaviour:
--------------------
Obviously, it would be nice to *not* loose the EXIF tags. (Imagemagick's convert -resize has this as default behaviour, although I'm not sure if this plugin also uses imagemagick.)

Thanks for caring.

I have fixed that in CVS. I have use -resize IM option instead -geometry. It will working better normally...

Please let's me hear if it's good for you.

I just tried kipi-plugins from CVS, but it does not seem to be fixed now. However, I was suprised when I checked the resized images of the HTML export option, these do contain the EXIF info. The output of the batch processing -> Resize Images lost it.

Having another look at it, it works.

When I tried a couple of minutes ago, I chose "prepare to print" as Resizing Type. Selecting Proportional works fine and keeps the EXIF info.

Thanks for fixing it. :-)

With 8.4.0, BQM allows to chose to resize and chain (or not) with the remove metadata tool.
