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

[Peter]

Hello Thomas

I tried

- a TIF (T6 / Group 4 Fax; 400 DPI, 1 Bit black-white)
- change attributes in TC
- Plugin: "jpg-comment"; Property: "Überschrift" (Title?); Value: "hallo"
- and got an error message:

"Fehler beim Setzen des folgenden Attributs: Überschrift"

When I use a JPG (foto) I have no problems.

Can you help me?

Strange, you tried to set a JPG-comment on a TIF file ?

Strange, you tried to set a JPG-comment on a TIF file ?

I thought it is an IPTC entry. Or is it not?

2tbeu: I tried version 2.1.3.0
Thanks a lot for the very useful enhancement !

I had corrected a date/time offset of files with AddTime Addon and can write this back to the EXIF data now.

It works in common, but still fails a little bit:
Using "jpg-comment.Date Time Original" := [=tc.writedate] will set Date/Time with an offset of -2 hours
(e.g. tc.writedate=17.09.2008 13:30 ... sets ... jpg-comment.Date Time Original=17.09.2008 11:30)

Note: My timezone is Germany (GMT+1 + DST = GMT+2) if this matters ...

Can you please check if http://tbeu.de/jpg_comment/jpg-comment.wdx fixes the problem!

[sqa_wizard]

Yes, this version fixes the offset problem, thanks a lot !

I did some more tests and found that leading zeros are missing.

e.g. 16.09.2008 09:03:17 is saved as 2008:9:16 9:3:17 but should be 2008:09:16 09:03:17

A minor one only, but nasty ...

[tbeu]

Please redownload http://tbeu.de/jpg_comment/jpg-comment.wdx and test again. The leading zeros problem for fields of ft_datetime should be fixed now.

Wow, it is working fine now.

Great work ! (Like all your plugins ...) Thank you for your effort.

[tbeu]

Thank you for testing and using. Bugfix update 2.1.3.1 is online now.

[tbeu]

I finally managed to build the plugin using latest Exiv2 0.18-pre2 library. For testing the plugin can be downloaded at http://tbeu.de/jpg_comment/jpg-comment.wdx.

[tbeu]

Vs. 2.1.4.0 now uses the latest Exiv2 0.18 library. Please download from totalcmd.net.

[tbeu]

Vs. 2.1.5.0 features new EXIF fields SubSecTime, SubSecTimeOriginal and SubSecTimeDigitized and XMP field Rating. Please download from totalcmd.net.

Great! Thank you very much for the update, tbeu

And: No, I did not forget about this... I'm still looking for corresponding Exiv2 expressions for the rest of the tags on my wish list

At first instance, thanks for work on this plugin. Let me a suggestion:
Could be added the option for change the Exif orientation in attributes dialog?

Could be added the option for change the Exif orientation in attributes dialog?

There is no problem to add the Exif.Image.Orientation tag. Is a multiple choice field allowing values from 1 to 8 alright for you?
