Feature Request: save EXIF

Post by kurka666 »

Just like we can save IPTC data back to a file, it would also be very useful to be able to modify and save EXIF data. For example tag 270/10E which contains the image description.

Since you have already got the tag names in your library, I would also like to be able to get a tag name based on a tag id! The IPTC structure currently hold the tag names, but that is only for tags present in the file - I'd like to have available all tag names.

Thanks
Henrik

Ok, thanks for your suggestion.

and while we're at it - it could also be nice to be able to load EXIF without loading the bitmap, just as for IPTC. At least if there is a difference in performance, but I haven't really tested that with IPTC. Do you know if there is a big difference in loading IPTC with and without the bitmap?

Loading only IPTC is very fast
