Content of EXIF-Metadata-Export depends on format

Post by FlorianH- »

If I export metadata as txt-file, there are some categories grouping the exif-tags (e.g. Camera, Image, Makernotes, etc.). The csv- and xml-export don't have this information.

Possible solutions for xml-file:
a) subnodes in xml file: e.g. <camera>...</camera>, etc.
b) additional attributes: e.g. <CameraManufacturer cat="camera">...</CameraManufacturer>

Possible solution for csv-file: modify headings: "Camera Manufacturer" -> "Camera - Camera Manufacturer"

Btw. there is an error in the csv-Export: the headings are repeated after each line of content.

Would be great if this could be changed/fixed in the beta.

Thanks,
Florian

Perhaps it depends on the exif-information of the different pictures. I've pictures from a canon and from a nikon cam. The exif-data differs in some attributes: e.g. 9th attribute: canon="date modified" nikon="software"

Perhaps it's possible to enumerate all attributes from all selected pictures first and then leave the unused columns/attributes empty.
e.g. 9th attribute from canon picture would be blank (no "software" attribute available)
