            Bug ID: 324044
           Summary: Improve MediaWiki export plugin [patch]
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kipiplugins
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: MediaWiki
          Assignee: kde-imaging at kde.org

The proposed patch implements a feature requested by several users (1), fixes a
bug (2) and improves the user interface (3).

1) Several users have asked for the possibility of removing the metadata and/or
the GPS location from the file before uploading to MediaWiki. The metadata
often contain the date and time the picture was taken, which can be considered
private data in some cases. The GPS location is also a private data, when the
picture was taken in a private location (home...).

This patch adds two checkbox, allowing the user to remove all the metadata from
the file, or only the GPS location, before uploading it to the distant wiki.
When the file is resized before uploading, the metadata is copied to the
resized version only if the « Remove metadata from file » checkbox is
unchecked. If the file is not resized and the checkbox is checked, a copy of
the file is created and null metadata are saved in it.

2) In some cases, the description map of the files of the previous upload was
not cleared when the user started a new upload. This caused the files of the
previous upload to be re-uploaded without user notice.

This patch fixes this issue by clearing the images description map each time a
new list of files is loaded.

3) This patch adds a few improvements to the user interface:
* the name of the wiki the user is currently logged on is now displayed
* the link to the current wiki does now show the name of this wiki instead of
"MediaWiki"
* when adding a wiki, the user is now asked for the "API URL" of the wiki
instead of the "URL" which was ambiguous
* the interface displays and upload more digits for the latitude and longitude
than before

Please review and merge this patch. Best regards.

Reproducible: Always
