Bug 98225

You want mean that you want do it during downloading operations from camera interface ?

Gilles Caulier

No, I would prefer during show and printing, without touching the image itself (since jpeg is a loose compression algorithm, having to decompress-edit-recompress is a waste of quality and, due the fact that you don't know how much comrpess the second time, could be also a waste of disk space, if you use a less-compression rate).
In general, having the possibilty of see some EXIF parameters, could also be useful when you have taken a lot and want to see exposure time/aperture/zoom ratio "on the fly". So I think to something confugurable, maybe with the possibility to save/recall different config, where you choose EXIF data to display/print, color, position, font size, if has to be used only for display or also for printing. Of course, when printing you need an option to disable it "on the fly", if set for printing also.
I suggest to use a memo edit and some checkboxes. Checkboxes to select the EXIF info to display (and for date/time, also the format), that produces or removes tags in the memo control. This way it's easy to edit it for novice, and experienced users can re-arrange the memo tags changing position or adding further, advanced parameters.
Something like (created with one tag for each line):
Exp: <exposure>
<datetime;yy/mm/dd hh:mm>
Zoom: <zoom>
that I could simply re-arrange like:
Exp: <exposure> Zoom <zoom> the day: <<datetime;yyyy/mm/dd d hh:mm>

Could it be related to printwizard plugin?
Anyway Gilles, libkexiv2 should help in that shouldn't it?
I'll give it a look, if i find the time though...

I'm trying to figure how can be a photo with all that data printed,
come on are you meaning you all want a lot of things inside a 
picture?
IMO the most important and used could be the date (that is already in)
and may be a comment. But if you need more please help me in
understanding where to put all that info (upper corner, left one, down the picture
on a white space on the picture etc) and which one would you like to print.

an idea...
you can have a list with check-boxes for several EXIF information fields
ISO / Fn / Comment / Photographer ...  and have the user decide which to print
and another list-box with different corners of the screen ?
(to choose where to display the info)
if you have spare time...
have the EXIF fields displayed on the screen and let the user drag&drop them where
he/she wants the fields to come out in the print. (maybe even the ability to resize the fonts ?)

Of course it will be left to user to decide if print or not (i don't want to print all for instance :p)
My question is if it is really important to print out some info, I mean is there anyone who use that
for commercial purpose for instance? 
I mean untill now i've received a lot of feed backs to have comments, filename and date.
The last two are already in and font is resizable and changeble...
> (to choose where to display the info)

That is less easy for the code i can manage by now...

as far as i can tell, the following are most important and i use them professionally when watermarking photos that are sent into web galleys
(for professional peer review) :
Aperture/F-number , Focal Length , Exposure Time /Shutter Speed 
(and Comment !)

i never used those for commercial purposes thou !
it would be great to have an ability to print those on photo copies as well.

kindly,
Nadav :-)

Well, I opened the bug for having mainly date, and possible other info DISPLAYED and possibly printed INSIDE the picture. Is this bug really solved? Will I be able to browse the pictures showing on the screen my clients pictures with "over impressed" data, just to make them clear when the picture was took? If not, the bug is not closed and you have resolved something else, IMHO.

Marco i can't really get what you need sorry :/
If you are italian, can you send me a private mail?
What printwizard can now, is printing some exif info inside the photo
But  I haven't changed the old way of printing, don't know if i'll do in kde3.x though.
We can by now print in the left bottom corner date or filename, or a free caption
written by user into a text box. The tag i managed are:
%f filename
%c comment
%d date-time
%t exposure time
%i iso
%r resolution
%a aperture
%l focal length

An example of use could be:
File: %f\nDate: %d\nComment: %c

Date is printed into your locale settings way as explicitally required by some users.
Does it met your expectations?

ok reading the bug activity, i've realized it has not been opened against printwizard, as far asi'm concerned printwizard does the most of requests (about printing of course), so i re-assign it to digikam for viewing.

About digiKam Slideshow, a lots of image informations can be displayed on the left/bottom corner of screen.

For me it's fixed.
