Created attachment 102078 [details] Dolphin Preview devoid of exif Version 16.08.2 KDE Frameworks 5.27.0 Qt 5.7.0 (built against 5.7.0) The xcb windowing system When displaying the 'Image Size' field in Dolphin no information is shown for image files (screenshot attached). Additionally, the tooltip preview does not provide any of the normal exif information (height/width resolution) (normal tooltip content screenshot provided). The image tooltip should provide the: - original photo name - type - size B (KiB) - image date (generally ctime) - dimensions w x h in pixels - color depth (Bit depth) - color mode (e.g. RGB/Alpha) - compression - interlaced mode All of the foregoing information is missing from the current tooltip preview in Dolphin, and tooltip previews are just flat broken in konqueror filemanagement.
Created attachment 102079 [details] Original tooltips showing proper EXIF information Here is a screenshot of the original tooltip preview showing complete EXIF information. This information is critical for anyone doing any type of graphics work.
One of our Kubuntu users pointed this out to me in IRC tonight. He is using 16.04.3, and described his issue here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/881428/dolphin-is-not-showing-the-image-dimensions-metadata-when-previewing-images-on-k I can verify that in version 16.12.1 I still cannot see anything more than filesize; no image size is reported. I have relied on this information many times in the past, and hope to see it return soon.
I would like also to confirm and verify that I am having the same issue as described by (David Rankin) and (Valorie Zimmerman). My system details are as follows: - Dolphin: 16.04.3 - KDE: 5.28.0 - Qt: 5.6.1 - Kubuntu OS: 16.10 - Kernel: 4.8.0-37-generic Your attention to this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Works for me. @David: are you also using Kubuntu? Anyway, this is not a Dolphin bug. The metadata is provided by kfilemetadata, which needs to be built against exiv2. Make sure this is the case and report back, please.
Enable the Information panel, hover an image, then use the right-click menu in the panel to configure the metadata items you wish to get included. The configuration is also used for the ToolTip. On my system, I get the Width/Height fields, but no further image details.
