I implemented this in my home-grown photo-management system, and it makes geo-tagging very straightforward. I also associated a level of resolution with each tag (which is simple order of magnitude radius in metres; 10km/1km/100m etc), so I could roughy tag "London" and then get more specific with particular images. An important part of this is that it is much more general than having a single "location" embedded in to a picture; I can have multiple locations associated with an image (such as where I was standing and where the subject is, which is often quite separated for large landscapes). However, if I'm setting the location down to 1-10m resolution, actually setting the photo location is probably better than encoding it in a tag. An obvious generalization is to be able to attach arbitrary metadata to tags, which are then overlaid on any image to which those tags are applied. I guess bug #192447 addresses that. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
