Exif Viewer

September 1, 2008 - 18:36 — weskaggs

This is an Exif Viewer, mainly for jpeg photos taken with a digital camera. It is an update of the "Exif Browser" plugin from the old registry. It requires a recent version of libexif (tested with 0.6.16).

Instructions for Linux:

You need to have gimp already installed on your system. After downloading the file exif-browser.tar.gz, do the following steps.

  1. gunzip exif-browser.tar.gz
  2. tar xcf exif-browser.tar
  3. cd exif-browser
  4. ./configure
  5. make
  6. sudo make install

The next time you run gimp, you should see an entry "View Exif" in the File menu.

Problem making the plugin

I am working with ubuntu 9.04 and Gimp 2.6.6. Installed are libexif12 (0.16.-2ubuntu1) and also libgimp2.0-dev. The command ./configure gives me in the last lines some problems which I dont know how to resolve. Please help ...... ..... checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking for gimp-2.0 gimpui-2.0 libexif >= 0.5.9... Package libexif was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libexif.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'libexif' found configure: error: Library requirements (gimp-2.0 gimpui-2.0 libexif >= 0.5.9) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

You got the libexif

You got the libexif developer files installed, too?

Aaah ok, that was missing.

Aaah ok, that was missing. Now it works, I had also to use the "make install" command with root privilege. Thank you very much for this nice plugin!

Thank you for this. Now I

Thank you for this. Now I don't have to go back to UFRAW to see what my EXIF data was. One thing which is a little strange is on the GPS tab. Here it talks about interoperability rather than latitude! A buglet I assume. E.g. InteroperabilityIndex: N InteroperabilityVersion: 15.00, 27.24, 0.00 Longitude is fine.

GIMP 2.6

P.S. This is with GIMP 2.6. I have just been reading through the help on plugins, and so I am now surprised that it works at all with 2.6. Still, I don't know if this is relevant.

Development libraries required

Amongst others I assume, but I needed to install these before configure would run: libgimp2.0-dev libexif-dev It would have been nice to see some of the makernotes decoded, especially which lens was used. UFRaw's EXIF viewer gives it.
