store meta in EXIF / IPTC?

[Kristian Rink]

Folks;

being rather new to KDE (after having used mostly GNOME and XFCE for the last
15 years), I stumbled across gwenview and immediately found this to be the
image management app I have been searching for, all the time - it seems just
the right kind of "a-bit-more-than-a-file-manager" that I need to keep track of
the images on my drive. With one exception, and one feature dearly missed: I
like using tags, "star" ratings, descriptions and all these things on my
images. gwenview does rather good at doing so, but unfortunately this
annotations made to images are lost as soon as I copy images somewhere.
Expectation would be to (have an option to) have these things stored directly
within the images, using EXIF, IPTC or whatever else comes in handy here.

Is this somewhere on the roadmap? Are there any issues open about that? Is
there any workaround to achieve this?

TIA,
Kristian

Hi Kristian,

Integrating meta information in the image in addition to storing them in
Nepomuk is something I would like to implement but haven't come around to work
on yet. I am pretty sure there is a bug report for this on http://bugs.kde.org
. If not, please file one.

PS: This mailing list was planned to go away some time ago in favor of
Gwenview forum, which you can find here: http://forum.kde.org/gwenview . Your
message actually reminded me I need to deactivate this mailing list. I am
going to do so next week.

Done so this very morning:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=309733

So I will keep an eye on forum.kde.org in the future, looking forward to this.
:)

Thanks again and all the best,
Kristian
