Description Eric Van De Genachte 2002-09-27 00:26:09 UTC 
Several high-end image processing applications permit users to imbed data
into an image file that is later retrievable and searchable by file
managers like MS Explorer.  Adobe Photoshop does this, for example, via
their <File Info> function.

Attribute data like photographer, copyright information, watermark, notes,
comments, keywords, etc. are all available fields in the Photoshop "File
Info" dialog.  In managing hundreds of images, this kind of information is
invaluable.

I prefer GIMP over Photoshop and would like to see the GIMP with this
functionality.  Is this something you would consider integrating into the GIMP?

Thanks,
  Eric

This has already been suggested in bug #56443 (EXIF tags).  Additional
metadata can be stored in XMP/IPTC format as suggested in bug #94416.

Regarding the user interface for editing this (the "Image Info" dialog),
you can take a look at bug #61499.

I promised to work on the EXIF support some time ago.  I hope that I
will have the time to do it soon...
