For example, if I take a camera on a trip and I'm in London from date 1 May - 5 May and Paris 5 May - 10 May, then a picture taken on the 4th can automatically be tagged as being in London, and 7th, Paris. (This is a generalization of correlating GPS data to a picture timestamp.) This can also be used for events ("Fred's Wedding" was on date 11 June), camera settings ("Used a old Nikon prime for this shoot on this date"), etc. This requires that on import, an image can be associated with a particular camera. Once that association is made the image metadata inherits the camera history metadata. The camera metadata may be set up after image import, so it isn't sufficient to just assign the metadata at import time. This allows a lot of useful boring metadata to be set automatically, and is a more general extension of using the implicit EXIF data and/or GPS traces (which may not be available). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
