wxIF

wxIF is a port of FxIF to WebExtensions. It adds a context menu that allows one to view EXIF, IPTC and XMP metadata from images.

Differences with the XUL version

  • It's not possible to verify that the image can potentially contain EXIF data without downloading it. So the context menu item will be displayed even on e.g. PNG images.

  • Images are redownloaded instead of being fetched directly from the cache. (The re-download may still be statisfied from cache).

To Do

  • The info panel layout is rather clunky. It should probably size to its contents somehow.

  • IPTC and XMP metadata support hasn't had much if any testing.

  • The i18n support is a quick hack to be able to use the messages from the previous version. This will need an overhaul.

  • No translations from the original addon were ported.

  • The coordinate notation and map provider are not configurable.
