--- Comment #3 from User:Docu <test5...@myway.com> 2009-12-10 09:12:54 UTC --- *for the second problem: The general idea is to evaluate exif data and create categories based on that. It seems that this would need a step where exif data is evaluated when a file is uploaded/re-uploaded or an exif mediawiki namespace message is changed. This wouldn't necessarily be more expensive than any change to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Information. It is likely that people would edit it each time a new camera type is discovered (or a camera manufacturer changes its camera string). a. One way to solve this could be to create a separate table with the exif data and make this searchable. Given the structure of exif data, this isn't necessarily that useful. An intermediate solution could be to parse some fields only into a table. A separate table wouldn't necessarily helpful unless we build an interface around it. Currently we can't make much use of MIME types (e.g. to identify SVG). b. Another way could be based on the MediaWiki messages mentioned above. c. A third way could be to create a special message in MediaWiki namespace (e.g. [[MediaWiki:Exif categories]]) that would be parsed on file upload/re-upload. It could contain variables for exif fields and switch functions to generate categories. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
