Description Thiago Sousa Santos 2010-08-04 14:27:06 UTC
Add a new tag to represent software used to create a media. I think the same tag can be used to represent firmware (when it applies).

From the exif spec:

"This tag records the name and version of the software or firmware of the camera or image input device used to generate the image."

So, I want a tag I'd be able to map into this, of course there are other uses for it :)

Adds a new tag for representing software/firmware names
Comment 2 Thiago Sousa Santos 2010-08-04 14:33:58 UTC
GST_TAG_CREATOR_TOOL is another name I could give to this tag if someone doesn't like _SOFTWARE :)
Comment 3 Tim-Philipp Müller 2010-08-04 14:47:37 UTC
Works for me, but if someone can think of a name that emphasises that this is meant for the *application*, even better (GStreamer and encoding libraries are software as well, after all). Not so much a fan of CREATOR_TOOL.
Comment 4 Thiago Sousa Santos 2010-08-04 14:57:09 UTC
GST_TAG_APPLICATION would work for me too.
Comment 5 Tim-Philipp Müller 2010-08-06 13:04:07 UTC
or GST_TAG_APPLICATION_NAME maybe?

In the absence of other opinions, just pick whichever you like best and go with that :)
