(Note: This is a cross-post of Mantis Issues 12219 - My attempt in Mantis to show a table didn’t work. So I am adding it here.) The current ImageMetadata gramplet only displays EXIF metadata tags. Third-party image editing/management softwares are inconsistent in the metadata tags they use to st…

Some thoughts: I agree that gramps should read xmp data, if it’s there. Exiftool, I think, presents gps data, no matter whether it’s xmp or exif. The default mode doesn’t tell you which it is. Regarding writing data, it’s perhaps worth noting that Apple’s Photos.app stores puts changes in its …

Gramps and its display of image metadata has been of interest to me for some time and in my recent attempts to understand and, hopefully, improve the situation, I came across your updates on Github at: Gramps - PhotoTaggingGramplet.py - Modified to display person regions embedded in photos · GitHub …

I think the reasonable success is because the files you found are specifically for the PhotoTagging Gramplet and not the Image Metadata viewer. I’ve submitted code for the Image Metadata viewer and hope it will be approved and included in 5.2. In the meantime, you can update the code on your insta…

Thank you for the latest files, but something else must have changed as well as I am unable to use Gramps with those 2 new files Comparing the new ones with those I downloaded from Github, it seems that one class was renamed from MetadataViewer to MetadataView and I don’t seem to be able to get pas…

Okay, I’ll follow up with you via PM and we can get this sorted. Once we get it cleared up we can post the correct workaround to this thread. I’ll send you a message later this morning

@ ebj075 Thank you for giving some more examples to study and help me along the way. For more than a decade, I have been looking at metadata in images for my family tree images and have not really found a good way to address this issue. All of this has lead me to dig into the innards of Gramps an…

Finally got my first cut at this new plugin/add-on and while I sort out more details on how to make it publicly available on github Currently it is set for Gramps 5.1 and in my case resides in - on my Mint box ~/user/.gramps/gramps51/plugins/displayMetadata This add-on depends on having Exiftool …

That looks good! I did have to follow the instructions at the exiftool website to build and install exiftool in my WSL instance. It did not work with exiftool that had been installed with apt.

Good to hear; I had installed Exiftool and its Python interface some time ago and so the specifics were rather hazy.
