Photographs with metadata...

Hi all, 

Since digiKam use Exiv2 library, i have built a new
"Metadata" sidebar to 
display standard Exif,  IPTC, and Exif MakerNotes to
remplace the old exif 
viewer based on libkexif. Take a look here :

http://digikam3rdparty.free.fr/Screenshots/dig
ikam0.9.0-alpha6.png

Actually, only JPEG and CRW files are supported (depending
on Exiv2 library), 
but i will make a metadata parser to check TIFF and PNG
files.

The current implementation staying on my computer until i
have completed all 
indeep tests. I'm not sure to provide it to 0.9.0, because
i need to check it 
using a complete collection of image files including
metadata (JPEG, TIFF and 
PNG). 

If any digiKam users use recent cameras (with marker notes)
or any commercial 
programs to tag images using IPTC (Adobe soft in photograph
workflow for 
example), let's me hear...

Thanks in advance for your help...

I use a canon 350D, a canon A70 and makethumb.sh, as well as
some home made scripts

I am using a Konica-Minolta 7D with digikam - which is a
really great program,
by the way!
So I would definitely like to see its exif data supported
for the mrw files,
too, which exiv2 unfortunately does not do at the moment.
Even more unfortunate
ist the fact that the Minolta MakerNotes are not decoded at
all by exiv2, but
perhaps it's considered a dying system...

So for some of my examinations I will stick with
Image::Exiftools and even try
to write an extension for this.

Give me any original images from your cameras. Place it on
the web (please, 
not by mail) 

Thanks in advance

You can use rawimage 
(http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=30971
) to show 
mrw metatags as tooltip in digiKams album view and to
integrate 
(some) IPTC data.

As an unofficial side note. I talked the with Phil the
creator of 
ExifTool about porting the Perl lib to C++.
Phil will first complete missing writing support for all
supported 
filetypes but PDF. One missing writing feature are e.g.
embedded 
ICC profiles. When this is finished Phil said that it might
be 
the right time to port ExifTool to C++. But this should be
done 
as a comunity project and not as one-man-show as this is
nearly a 
rewrite.

So if you have interests in helping then we a two persons
now 

Bye

Ah... Good sound !!! Great... You will contrib to Exiv2
project then...

i'm also Minolta user (Dynax 5D), and i would like to see 
MRW exif info 
available in digiKam (:=))))

I think that we can improve RAW file metadata support under
Exiv2 since any 
RAW files format have been decrypted by other projects. See
bellow any links 
to check about :

In general  :

- http://www.rags-int-inc.com/PhotoTechStuf
f/RawStandards/RawSummary.html
- http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/
- http://ufraw.sourceforg
e.net/

NEF : 

- http://www.clex.sk/cpexif/

- http://pages.quicksilver.net.nz/pepe/d70/Ni
kon_D70_on_Linux.html#exif

MRW (Z2 -> DNG converter) :

- http://dafnis.gale
on.com/z2-en.htm

and the most _IMPORTANT_ !!! :

http://www.virtual-cafe.com/~dhh/tools.d/exif
probe.d/exifprobe.html

.. Where you can find a full code to extract Exif info from
major RAW file 
formats !!!

Nota : Exiv2 is also used to KphotoAlbum (Kimdaba) and
Reveal program...
