If I remember correctly, I know that it is a powerful library, and that metadata is not well supported with Pillow. |
|
I didn't have to do anything more than pip install, but maybe I was just lucky with glibc versions and such, travis here doesn't look happy. If that is a deciding factor, I can try to make this conditional so that pyexiv2-less installations are just as easy as they are now, but ignore the tag filters. |

Until recently my knowledge of it was that it was not pip installable, and there was a fork for python 3 support. But maybe things have changed, which can be great. I will try to look more in detail soon. |

And even if the installation is easier, I think that this feature would fit well in a plugin. |

Hmm it's a bit confusing:
|
GExiv2 is an official Gnome project and also part of Debian, so more likely to offer a hussle-free installation experience.
|
I wasn't aware of GExiv2, and it looks more likely to offer a hussle-free installation path. The latest commit switches to using that instead. Not sure about how your plugins work, though. Any pointers? |

Gexiv2 may be easier to install on Linux, but probably not on MacOS/Windows. There is no package on PyPI. If I look at PyPI (https://pypi.org/search/?q=exiv2&o=), there is py3exiv2 which is the py3 fork on the old pyexiv2, but it does not provide wheels so you need to install libexiv2-dev and libboost-python-dev and compile. And there is the "new pyexiv2", which provides a universal wheel which is weird for a package containing C code, and it seems that .dll and .so are committed directly in the repository .. So it's a mess and I do not want this in the core package ;), but if you manage to write a plugin that can work with one or some of these packages then it's fine :) About plugins: http://sigal.saimon.org/en/latest/plugins.html |
