Selecting metadata

Issue #44 resolved
Paul Matthijsse created an issue

Hello Alberto, I saw you made it possible to select which metadata are written to the output file. It would be great if that list could be remembered, so that every time a file is saved, just these (my) selected tags will be written to the output file. Perhaps you can add this option to the meta data copy mode, Apply MyExifInfo or something?

Hey, and your family name is Griggio and not Agriggio? I just saw that on the commits page…

Regards!

    Just save the list in a (partial) processing profile, and then you can set up ART to apply it by default (e.g. by using dynamic profiles).

    And yes, my surname is Griggio, but that’s not really important 🙂

    Thanks, I could have thought of that myself! One problem to note: the exif maker notes are not written, even if I check all the exif fields, so no lens info (again).

    Okay Mr. Griggio, I used to be a journalist (in the IT field) and when doing interviews with persons, getting their name right is primordial! So I’ll change that on my site right now…

    I have pushed one more change, now all the tags are visible in the tree (before, some unprintable ones were not shown, so they were not selectable either…).

    You still need to manually pick all the tags that are needed for the lens data to show up correctly. For nikon, this seems to be not quite straightforward 😞 By trial and error I managed to get down to this (for the NEF files that I have available, YMMV):

    Hope this helps

    Hello, they work - except for that stupid lens! 😢 Focal length is there, FNumber, but not the lens.

    OK. On the other hand, for me this isn’t an important feature. Just nice to have, nothing more.
