[Digikam-devel] Digikam plugin for GPS image tagging

[Gilles Caulier]

Alex,

The first beta version of the plugin is ready to use. Look my recent commit on 
svn :

http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/extragear/libs/kipi-plugins/gpssync/?rev=587073&view=rev

We don't use GPSBabel in this version. a GPX file format parser have been 
implemented. This will be enough.

In charge for you to improve this plugin in the future, for example to use 
GPSBabel to convert exotic GPS data file to GPX format and imprt GPS 
informations to the plugin.

My 10cts €
