GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 138189
gthumb should have IPTC (JPEG image captions) support
Last modified: 2006-09-25 17:05:33 UTC
It would be great to have IPTC support in gthumb. EXIF is great, but this would make gthumb even greater. Some JPG images contain text information embedded and it can't be now :( The only tool I know which implements this is ImageMagick :( Thanks.
I maintain a library, libiptcdata, for manipulating IPTC data. It's available at http://libiptcdata.sourceforge.net/. Adding support to gthumb for IPTC data using this library should be relatively straightforward. I may take a stab at some patches to gthumb in the coming weeks.
There is now a patch for IPTC support in bug 136286
