I was wondering why this wasn't merged into the internals so decided to do a Bugzilla search. See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56443 Looks like it's not as straight forward as one might think for supporting EXIF data across multiple file formats or multiple versions of EXIF-like data. Ideally this is what you want so that the file, of whatever type, when read by its file plugin would store the exif data in parasites (or similar) and a generic exif viewer/editor would alllow access to it. Changes to the data would then be preserved when the image is saved. However a generic solution like this has been under discussion for some time. In the interim and for the simple case, a file-type specific exif viewer plugin could be written that uses (as the bugzilla entry points out) the newer exiv2 library. Or just get Akkana's latest version of the old JPEG exif plugin back into the registry. :-) (See http://registry-archive.fargonauten.de/plugin?id=4153 for the old plugin) -- Michael J.
