Hi all,
I'm transferring my install from a spinning disk to an SSD and
decided to tidy up/customise/stuff up things as I go. I've recently
taken a lot of photo's whilst travelling and I have the Coords in the
EXIF data. What I would like is to be able to easily view this data.
There is a thingy called "ReImage"[1] which allows for a right click
within Dolphin and you can select an option to display the EXIF data in
a dialogue box.
I recall using an earlier version of this and it is a useful and easy submenu
option to apply ImageMagick on a file.
I had to manually install this as I could find nothing on "Dolphin
Service Menus" within Portage, or the Gentoo wiki or basically on line
at all, so is there a Gentoo way of dealing with these in the first place?
Not really. You can submit a bug or PR though as some of these do make
into the tree sometimes.
$ eix --homepage store.kde.org
Shall do on this.
Secondly, I then came across "kfilemetadata" in Portage. Without
installing this as well, does this give the same thing? If so, how do
you use this thing? Acutally, as I'm writing this, I'm still reserching
and api.kde.org[2] says it's a library, so what apps use it?
Not the same thing.
kfilemetadata is solely a library and should be pulled in by other
packages that need it.
You have to enable USE="semantic-desktop" to make Dolphin and others
pull it in and use it.
If a GUI is not necessary and a semantic database indexing is not required,
you can give exiftool a spin, which can be scripted with find to search your
files and store them according to any exif tag.
I spent much time getting rid of the semantic desktop so that's that
last thing I need. I've given exiftools a go before and it gave me all I
needed so a combo of the right click and it will give me all I need.
Thanks for the comments,
Andrew
