digiKam has a new Kipi Plugin to edit pictures metadata

Submitted by cauliergilles on Tue, 2006-10-17 12:34

Since digiKam support a standard metadata format used in photography, we need a tool to edit these informations.

Since 2 weeks, i'm working on a new kipi plugin named 'MetadataEdit' to manage EXIF and IPTC embedded informations in pictures.

This plugin can edit existing metadata or create new informations from scratch (for example in case of pictures taken with a digital scanner witch don't provide EXIF informations).

This plugin can be used in single or batch mode to set metadata of more than one picture at the same time.

Actually, the IPTC editor is fully implemented. EXIF editor still is under developement.

There is a screenshot of this plugin in action at this url

I have been waiting for this plugin, thank you.
For the moment, I'm using some strange shell commands, not really intuitive.

Thank you for digikam and all your work.
