Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.0) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux I would like to have plugin for automaticly adding copyright marks to pictures. This could be linked to an open-contenct lisence like the creative commons (I don*t know if there is an other also good for pictures). This would be a good service and advertisment of the creative commons lisence. May this could also be offered for the HTML-exporter.
I've written an article for a German Linux Magazin on KIPI, in this article I develop a watermark plugin. The magazine is to hit the streets May 2005. The plugin in no way finished, but hopefully someone will pick it up and finish. If anyone reading this wants to complete it, send me an email, and I'll mail you the sources. Jesper (blackie@kde.org)
wait a minute! Is this feature request about adding an exif copyright tag or about watermarking the image with a copyright text?? I'm a bit confused now...
OK I might have misunderstood the original request myself then. I don't know what the original reported requested.
*** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. ***
I would suggest using either the EXIF data or xmp metadata fields for this feature.
Creative Commons has developed a software library (LGPL) that reads and writes license metadata to a variety of file formats, including jpg, jpg2000, png, gif, etc. You can simply give it an Author, Title, and License and it will embed that information into the file. Then later any other application that can read the standard metadata is able to display that information. More information on the library, liblicense, can be found here: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Liblicense
At least applying metadata templates is possible. So couldn't this be closed?
right. moved at the right place... Gilles
