Picasa stores comments and tags inside JPEG files as IPTC data. For instance, I took foo.jpg and added "test_comment" along with the tags "testtag1" and "testtag2" When I examine the file with exiv2 [1] as follows:
exiv2 -pi print foo.jpg I get: Iptc.Application2.Caption String 12 test_caption Iptc.Application2.Keywords String 8 testtag1 Iptc.Application2.Keywords String 8 testtag2 [1] http://www.exiv2.org/ On Aug 2, 12:22 pm, ktenney <kten...@gmail.com> wrote: > Howdy, > > I'm starting to use Picasa 3 for Linux. > > Before I invest lots of time into tagging and captioning, I'd like to > know > that information is accessible from outside Picasa. > > Is there a programming API for Picasa? > Is the database format documented? > Is it possible to export to some kind of text format: xml or csv? > > Thanks, > Kent --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google-Labs-Picasa-for-Linux" group.
