Exif UserComment editor for GQview

Niccolo Rigacci — 2009-12-19T13:07:10

I know that GQview is not actively developed, it seems that 
Geequie will be its successor.

In the mean time I wrote a quick Exif UserComment editor to hook 
to the external editor commands of GQview.

Read some notes and download the Python script here:

As far as I know all development on gqview are moved to geeqie.

I would suggest you ask the question there:)

Thanks

Suggestion for gqview

Jeroen Valkonet — 2009-11-21T12:48:18

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the proper channel to make suggestions but i'll 
try anyway:

In gqview has currently tied a left mousebutton click to 'next picture'.
I would like to suggest to tie left mousebutton to 'zoom 1:1' and allow 
for panning while pressing left mousebutton down.
This is very intuitive, you can try for yourself it in FastStone's image 
viewer or MaxView.
There are already plenty of methods to go to the next/previous picture 
in gqview so loosing the leftbutton should not be an issue.
Or even better, make it a preference.

Best regards,
Jeroen Valkonet

I would love such a script.

Better still I would love a script that would list the comments of all
the image (either given or as a directory), and let you edit them all
in one go.

That would work a lot better for both viewing and for updating large
numbers of images, than doing things bit by bit.



One question though, a bit off-topic.   There has always been the
problem of whether a mu

Hi list,

One feature which I really like about the 'pho' image viewer 
(http://www.shallowsky.com/software/pho/) is that whenever one quits it, 
it outputs a list of all rotations one has applied to the images viewed. 
I then use this information to let 'jpegtran' rotate my images accordingly.

I was wondering whether there is any comparable way to access the 
information that GQview keeps on which images have been rotated (for

Hi Florian,

Have a look at http://geeqie.sf.net
Geeqie writes the comment and keywords to XMP and IPTC, Writting to EXIF 
comment should be also possible.

how to add comments to files (themselves)?

Florian Hollerweger — 2009-09-05T17:03:08

Hi list,

 From within GQview, I would like to add comments to my images. However, 
I would like to save these comments directly in the images (using the 
COM field of the JPG header or the EXIF comment field).

I had hoped that the "Comment" section in the keywords dialogue might be 
configurable accordingly, but it seems that it always stores the 
comments separately in the metadata text files.

Using GQview's awesome external editor functionality, I have tried 
various voodoo using 'jhead -ce' and 'wrjpgcom' - in the hope that I 
would get an external editor window to open into which I could write my 
comment. However, I didn't get this to work.

Any ideas on how this could be implemented?

best,
flo.H
