Hello Felix,
Thanks for your complete answer.
I have a little questions regarding Exif Display plugin of Eye of Gnome.
- First, is there a way to make EoG remember presence of the lateral panel on the left of
the window ? If I make it visible with menu "View", then close Eye of Gnome and
restart it, panel is gone, I have to re-select it, on EoG 3.2.
Yes, that sounds like a little race condition between the generation of the
window and plugin loading. It could be that the plugins are not loaded yet for
the specific window when it checks if there's content in the sidebar and then
hides it because there's none yet.The plugin system changed between 2.32 and
3.0 which is why it could have worked in the older version.
Should I report it to Bugzilla, too ?
- How to make in this panel always the Exif Display plugin the one visible ? If
Map plugin is also activated in the preferences, it's this one which is
automatically shown, I have to select Exif Display in the menu,
I'd like to have it by default.
No, this is not possible yet. At the moment the first view that gets added to
the sidebar should be shown by default. Although it's interesting to see that
the map plugin manages to get preference over the Exif Details plugin. You may
want to open a feature request for this in our Bugzilla.
OK, I'll do it. But it's not a very annoying bug, few photos I have in
my collection have the geographic localization, and I prefer see the
Exif Details.
- On the View Exif plugin, is it possible to add some fields that are also visible in the
"Properties" window of the image
Well, I actually plan to make the data that is available in the properties dialog's "General" and
"Metadata" tab available in the sidebar again. I don't know if this already enough information displayed for
you ("XMP Exif" and "XMP IPTC" won't be listed).
The Exif Display plugin could still stay as a it only shows the most important
stuff by default and additionally a histogram. I guess noone would object if
someone would make the displayed metadata configurable for the plugin, allowing
a more specific view of metadata.
That's a very good news and would be perfect. Yes, it would be enough if
all the datas from "General" and "Metadata" become available directly in
Exif Display, even in option to allow everyone to choose what is displayed :
General : Name - Width - Height - Type - Size - Folder
Metadata : Description - Location - Keywords - Author - Camera - Date
There will be the descriptions and keywords added, for example, in
Shotwell and would allow to open images from Nautilus, Thunderbird...
and browse collections by having all the informations about the photos
on the lateral side, in addition to the thumbnail view in the bottom, nice !
Best regards,
Xavier
