ImageMetaData (set/edit EXIF/IPTC/XMP-metadata and Comment of image files by Exiv2 lib) content plugin

[tbeu]

2experts: I noticed that the image dump may contain null bytes, especially for binary data. The data are correctly extracted but obviously not correctly copied to the full text field, i.e. the string is terminated at occurence of first null byte. Hence, what should I do if there are null bytes in a full text field value?

Hi

for the first time I got "tiled TIFFs". Is there a way to find these infos with this tool?

Any ideas before a new version is going to be released?

[Gothmoth]

first i want to say what a great plugin.

and i like to ask if there is a way to edit the metadata fields directly in the TCr windows?

or if it must be done via the ATTRIBUTES dialog?

it would be much more comfortable to edit directly in the TC window.

[Peter]

... to edit the metadata fields directly in the TCr windows?...

You mean in the standard file panels?
I don't think that this is possible; all attributes (also the standard) has to be changed in the attrib-dialogue.

Gothmoth,
Maybe you would like to support the Editable file list fields request.

hello udol,thank you for your ImageMetaData .

can you do some work to make ImageMetaData support new function?

for example:

name of real format of image file independently of its extension
byte order in integers that require more than one byte: big-endian (Mac), little-endian (PC)
number of images (TIFF), local images or frames (GIF), images plus thumbnails (JPEG). For others — 1
number of layers in PSD and in 1st image in TIFF. For others — 1
width of image in pixels
height of image in pixels
image orientation: Quadrate, Landscape or Portrait
aspect ratio (pixw / pixh)
iagonal in pixels
number of pixels in image (pixw x pixh)
number of samples per pixel (channels in Photoshop)
number of bit per sample (bits per channel)
bit depth (bits per pixel) = spp x bps
image mode: RGB, CMYK, etc. In RGB-a suffix -a means alpha chanel
image data compression method: LZW, RLE, etc.
horizontal resolution
vertical resolution
width of document (pixw / xres)
height of document (pixh / xres)
aspect ratio of document (docw / doch)
diagonal of document
square of document (docw x doch)
forced resolution of image (by user choice, does not affect on resolution saved in file) along both axes. May be used for valuation of image sizes with some arbitrary resolution. If user changes fres in Change attributes dialog, INI file parameter forced_res will be changed in fact
same as docw for fres
same as doch for fres
same as docasp for fres
same as docd for fres
same as square for fres
plugin's INI-file name location. This info is about plugin, not about image file

@tbeu

two questions:
a) will the plugin get an update? Exiv2 it at version 0.25, and maybe other things have developed through the last years?

b) Is there a limitation in pixelsize? Imagesizes with more than 10.000 or 14.000 are not displayed ...

@Peter

regarding a) Yes, I intend to update exiv2.lib to v0.26 once it is released.

hi, the plugin ImageMetaData (JPG comment) is cool and it had helped me a lot.

Now I'm encountering a problem of some of my resources (many), seems to have large Photoshop meta info, which has '<xmpMM:History>' and '<photoshop:DocumentAncestors>'
I've tried to locate them but it seems hard.
Would you consider to also support 'xmpMM' or 'photoshop' meta fields searching in future ImageMetaData (JPG comment) versions?

Still, thanks a lot.

Ummm, temporarily, I've found a workaround, just to search as text content for *.png, by string of "xmpMM:History" or "photoshop:DocumentAncestors", and got the file list.
Because I just want to find the files, not searching specific content sub-string inside those property fields. So, for now it works for me.

Is there a way to modify the number of decimals for GPS coordinates?

[tbeu]

Hm, currently I do for floating point numbers:

Code: Select all

std::wstringstream wss;
wss << std::setiosflags(std::ios::fixed) << std::setprecision(5) << *(double*)FieldValue;

Thus, it is not configurable as of now.

Hi Thomas
crazy as time goes by .....

Some new plans for a current update / refreshment? Exiv is at 0.27 .2 since last July...
https://exiv2.org/whatsnew.html

By the way: I'm searching the number of frames for Multiframe-images as TIFF ..
Is it already integrated?
