This consists of adding keywords to the Comments field (like my very first approach to filing and tagging), and works fine as a general technique. My current Snakelets prototype works for reading, adding comments and using a sort of "poor man's EXIF tagging".
#MAC SETEXIFDATA CODE#
my utter lack of time to code (which includes being able to do a decent UI with Prototype).the lack of a decent Python library to write EXIF data.
The trouble is that there have been two things putting me off time and again: This is something I've been complaining about for years (just check out my EXIF node or search for "metadata"), and I've been coding my own web-based EXIF tagger for months now. One of the most frequent complaints I get about my photo album is that it's too linear - i.e., with over two thousand photos in there, some people would rather browse by topic/keyword than follow a time line or click around randomly.īut to do so requires proper handling of metadata, and we all know how utterly useless iPhoto is at storing and manipulating the metadata in the files themselves - not only does it not handle all EXIF/ IPTC fields I need, but it insists on storing the metadata separately and is inconsistent as hell on what it imports and exports.
