           Summary: Use implicit metadata from camera history
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.0.0
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jeremy at goop.org


Version:           1.0.0 (using KDE 4.3.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

Given that a picture is taken by a specific camera at a specific time, if you
associate metadata with a camera at a particular time, then any picture taken
at that time can be automatically given metadata.

For example, if I take a camera on a trip and I'm in London from date 1 May - 5
May and Paris 5 May - 10 May, then a picture taken on the 4th can automatically
be tagged as being in London, and 7th, Paris.  (This is a generalization of
correlating GPS data to a picture timestamp.)

This can also be used for events ("Fred's Wedding" was on date 11 June), camera
settings ("Used a old Nikon prime for this shoot on this date"), etc.

This requires that on import, an image can be associated with a particular
camera.  Once that association is made the image metadata inherits the camera
history metadata.  The camera metadata may be set up after image import, so it
isn't sufficient to just assign the metadata at import time.

This allows a lot of useful boring metadata to be set automatically, and is a
more general extension of using the implicit EXIF data and/or GPS traces (which
may not be available).
