Created attachment 112650 [details] add picture dialog I have been trying to get bunch of pictures into palapeli but it seems to need lot of manual intervention whereas most of the info. asked could be automatically filled if palapeli could get the exif metadata. For instance I tried to add a single picture and it needs the info. although all that info. is lready there in terms of exif metadata. See the exif metadata - $ exiftool MoonEclipseSequence-2783-2833-netClaro.jpg ExifTool Version Number : 10.96 File Name : MoonEclipseSequence-2783-2833-netClaro.jpg Directory : .

You seem to have grabbed the wrong end of the stick re Palapeli. It is a jigsaw-puzzle game. The dialog you show in the attachment is for creating a new puzzle from an image-file of a common type such as JPEG or PNG. You have to give Palapeli the file name or browse for it using a standard KDE or Qt file-dialog. The other entries are to add human-readable title, optional comment and owner of the image. The last is for copyright purposes. Further dialogs ask for details such as how many pieces to slice the image into and what style of slicing (or piece-shape) to apply. None of this has anything to do with EXIF as far as I know.
what I wanted to infer or share is that most of the content that is asked by palapeli is already answered by the exiftool. It would be nice if this bit of information can be extracted by palapeli without human intervention either as an option or a preference so the first dialog page is taken care of and the user could just look into making the puzzle part.
