Re: [Gimp-developer] IPTC & EXIF Information

Owen,

I saw that IPTC data got stripped out and thought that it was the same 
for EXIF.  It does seem that GIMP should allow one to view this information.

I could see additional tabs/buttons under View -> Image Properties that 
would show the EXIF info along with showing and editing the IPTC data.

I had have not used ExifTool before, it is nice but for adding different 
comments to different images as part of IPTC data etc I think something 
integrated into GIMP would be much better along the lines of IrfanView.

thanks for the response.

There have been people working on this, but that effort was never
finished and as far as I know no one is actively working on the metadata
framework at the moment. Of course we would love to see this work being
continued.

With regard to exif data, there is an option in the jpeg save as
dialog to retain or strip out the exif data

Out of curiousity I just converted a jpg with exif to png then ran
exiftool against it and got out some of the exif data, so I am not
sure your "strip out exif data" is a correct statement

AFAIK, exif support has been in gimp for years. IPTC is something new,
though I think exiftool handles it

[Gimp-developer] IPTC & EXIF Information

2009-02-21 Thread Alan Jones 
I have been watching and searching for a while but have not found much 
so I decided to ask.

Is IPTC and EXIF support on the road map for GIMP in the near future?

It looks like that information is currently stripped out of an image if 
the image is edited in GIMP.

I would be nice if GIMP supported keeping the IPTC and EXIF information 
along with viewing it.

It would be absolutely great if GIMP supported Editing the IPTC info.

I have had to cut down my use on GIMP if I suspect the image has IPTC 
data.  Something that I am seeing more am more photographers use.  
Currently i check the image with another program like IrfanView or 
something else for IPTC data before choosing to use GIMP.

I know the developers are busy, but was wondering if that was on the plans.

I would love to offer my coding services, but I have not done any good 
coding in years and I suspect you would not want anything I even 
attempted to do :)

I do want to thank the developers for all the hard work they have put 
into such a great product.

thanks


Alan
