I spent much time getting rid of the semantic desktop so that's that last thing I need. I've given exiftools a go before and it gave me all I needed so a combo of the right click and it will give me all I need. Thanks for the comments, Andrew

[gentoo-user] Anyone with experience viewing EXIF data in Dolphin?
Hi all, I'm transferring my install from a spinning disk to an SSD and decided to tidy up/customise/stuff up things as I go. I've recently taken a lot of photo's whilst travelling and I have the Coords in the EXIF data. What I would like is to be able to easily view this data. There is a thingy called "ReImage"[1] which allows for a right click within Dolphin and you can select an option to display the EXIF data in a dialogue box. I had to manually install this as I could find nothing on "Dolphin Service Menus" within Portage, or the Gentoo wiki or basically on line at all, so is there a Gentoo way of dealing with these in the first place? Secondly, I then came across "kfilemetadata" in Portage. Without installing this as well, does this give the same thing? If so, how do you use this thing? Acutally, as I'm writing this, I'm still reserching and api.kde.org[2] says it's a library, so what apps use it? I hope this makes sense, it's 03:33 in Perth, Australia at the moment and I've knocked back a fair amount of chocolate, and one or two fermented beverages, whilst doing this work ;) Any thoughts are greatly appreciated, Andrew [1] https://store.kde.org/p/1231579/ [2]https://api.kde.org/frameworks/kfilemetadata/html/index.html
