           Summary: WishList: Automatic generation of text from EXIF info /
                    digiKam metadata in Insert Text
           Product: digikamimageplugins
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: mrsecure fastmail us


Version:           0.8.8 (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

It would be really nice to be able to use place holders in the Insert Text to place EXIF info or digiKam metadata in the image.  Examples:
  %Y-%M-%d    displays date from EXIF info
  %c          displays EXIF comment field
  %C          displays DigiKam commend data
  %T{People}  displays all of the DigiKam tags from the "People" group for this image.
  
Additionally, being able to specify the text size & location as a percentage of the image height / width would allow for batch processing.  For example, a batch process to write a list of people and the location on a set of images could be something like:
   Text:  %T{People}  %T{Location}
   Text Height:   5% of Height
   Text Location - measured from the center of the text
        Vertical:   5% from bottom
        Horizontal: Centered 

Finally, being able to specify the opacity of the text would be great.

Thanks for all of your hard work on digiKam!  It's excellent!!
