Beautiful Sunset out of Forge with Parameter metadata
Problem & Context:
Image-generation tools such as Forge embed the entire prompt (and other
settings) in a PNG iTXt chunk labeled Parameters. digiKam currently displays
only a single truncated line of that field; the user must hover to reveal a
tooltip. Two limitations follow:
1. Discoverability deficit – most users never discover the hidden, hover-only
text.
2. You can drag-select the text, but Ctrl + C / Copy copies the PNG image, not
the text.
* Always display the full multi-line Parameters value (wrapped).
* When the user selects text inside that field and presses Ctrl + C or uses
Copy, the clipboard should contain the selected metadata—not the image.
* (Optional enhancement) Add a tiny 📋 icon to copy the entire Parameters block
in one click.
For artists iterating on AI prompts—or archivists verifying provenance—easy
access to the full Parameter block is crucial.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a Forge-generated PNG in digiKam. (I attached one)
2. View the Properties sidebar → PNG → Parameters.
3. Observe: only one truncated line is visible; hovering shows a tooltip, but
the text is not selectable.
Current Behaviour:
PNG
└─ Parameters A serene coastal sunset with ra…
[hover tooltip shows full prompt, unselectable]
