GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 155869
Edit EXIF tags
Last modified: 2018-07-12 00:09:56 UTC
We should be able to edit EXIF tags. This would include not only editing one file, but being able to edit the date tag in multiple photos.
I'd especially emphasize the ImageDescription EXIF tag (see also http://www.burtonini.com/blog//computers/nautilus-exif-2005-07-28-14-50). IMO, this should be in the place of the current "Name" text entry field, which seems to be just the file name. It could still use the file name if either the ImageDescription is not set or is one of a set of known useless default contents (e.g. for my camera, it is "OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA ").
Regarding editing the date/time of photos, please see bug 302567.

Reopening because I think this bug is asking for more than just date/time editing, it's asking to be able to edit all (or many) exif tags. This bug is also older. Related bug #322528 requests the ability to edit the ImageDescription field.
I would use this to mark all the old film photos I have scanned. They need to have exif tags and details added to them.
I'd like to second this enhancement as well. I've noticed that when I update keywords in the EXIF data with a tool like Photoshop and I then upload that photo to flickr the keywords get mapped directly to flickr tags. Having this "just work" with f-spot tags without having to tell f-spot to export the metadata would be great.
I would really enjoy this feature also. Right now I use an external program that can even create exif tags onto scanned images called reveal from this project: http://albumshaper.sourceforge.net/
I would like to add that i think this would be a great idea. To go along with this i would like to suggest the ability to select any number of photos in the main screen and then be able to drag them anywhere onto the timeline. This would allow us to easily change and set the date field of the meta data of when the pictures were taken.
I am trying to migrate from Lightroom to F-Spot... the lack of this feature is somewhat of a roadblock
I agree this would be very helpful.
F-Spot has moved to https://github.com/f-spot/f-spot/issues If this Bugzilla ticket is still valid in a recent version of F-Spot, please feel free to post this topic as a ticket in the F-Spot project on GitHub. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping as we are planning to shut down GNOME Bugzilla in favor of GNOME Gitlab.
