EXIF EXIF are metadata labels embedded in some media files, usually JPEG. They might say the make of camera that took a picture, or its aperture/ISO, the GPS coordinates it was taken at, how an image is rotated, or the DPI of a logo for printing purposes. There are many different possible fields. I have wanted to add support to view and even search this data for a long time, and this week we start with something simple but not user-friendly. The media viewer now has a 'cog' icon on the top hover. On JPEGs, it lets you check for EXIF data. Most files don't have it, but if it does (usually this is photos or professional art exported from Photoshop etc...), it now throws up a little window to see every field. The duplicate filter now actively scans for EXIF data and says if one or both files have it, just like the recent addition for ICC Profiles. Many websites strip EXIF data on upload, so if you have two exact dupes, the one with EXIF data is probably closer to the 'original' version. Now I have this framework, I would like to extend it. Beyond general polish like replacing the cog icon with something nicer, and only enable it when I know there is some EXIF to show, I want to cache 'has exif data yes/no' in the database and allow you to search by that. I expect I'll also add the actual EXIF data itself to the database one day, so you'll be able to search all your pictures for iPhone 6 photos or whatever. So, if you are interested in EXIF, please give this a go and let me know what you think. This feature was taking so long to happen that I decided to just spam out a rough v1.0 that I can keep improving. full list - EXIF: - in the first step of 'official' EXIF support, the media viewer now has a 'cog' button on the top hover, enabled when looking at a jpeg, that will check the file for EXIF data. if found, it will throw it up on a simple new window that shows EXIF id, label, and value. this is a hacked-together prototype, not super user-friendly, but it works. let me know what you think, and please send me any files that have weird EXIF that doesn't parse right but you think should. I already discovered a file with a null character that wouldn't display in UI, that sort of thing - GPS EXIF values are also parsed and extracted - made it so you can double-click a row in this new window to copy an EXIF value to clipboard - in the duplicate filter, if one or both files have exif data, this is now noted in the comparison statements, just like ICC profile! (issue #469) - obvious future extensions here will be storing 'has exif' in the database and allowing its presence to be searchable and enabling the cog button (or a nicer 'exif' button) only when there is known data to see. a subsequent step would be actually caching the data in the database for full EXIF search - as a side thing, we're now set up on the hydrus end to pull TIFF EXIF, but PIL doesn't seem to offer it, so we'll have to wait for a different solution there
