Summary: Kipi plugins should be able to access image tags
Product: kipiplugins
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kde-imaging kde org
ReportedBy: jesjimenez gmail com
Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.3)
Installed from: Ubuntu Packages
I've recently discovered the flickrexport kipi plugin, and I use it a lot. Despite it rocks, I've found that it exports image comments, date and such, but it doesn't export tag info, which seems silly since flickr tags and digikam tags share the same concept, and tags are a key feature for cataloguing images.
After messing a little bit with flickrexport sources, I've noticed that the problem comes from KIPI not exposing tag info to plugins. I think that it would fit quite well in KIPI::ImageInfo class, as a getTags() method or something similar. Since a lot of image programs use tags nowadays, I think that being able to access them using kipi would lead to more and better plugins.
Thanks for your attention
