Display metadata

Closed this issue · 2 comments

First off, thanks for a great image viewer!

It would be really great if it was possible to view image metadata with vimiv.
Mainly I am interested in JPEG exif data, but it may be useful for other image types as well.

Below is an example of how feh supports this concept.

feh --draw-exif my_image.jpg

Thanks!

Sounds like a nice feature, I will think about how to implement this neatly. But once again I will defer this until #61 is completed which may take a while.

Closing as this has already been implemented in the Qt port and no new features will be implemented here.
I hope the new version can be of some use to you, in case anything is missing please open an issue.
The current display of metadata is not very detailed though, mainly because I am not very experienced with exif and don't know what information is useful to camera-lovers and how it should be formatted. Therefore there is this follow-up issue.
