Owen, I saw that IPTC data got stripped out and thought that it was the same for EXIF. It does seem that GIMP should allow one to view this information. I could see additional tabs/buttons under View -> Image Properties that would show the EXIF info along with showing and editing the IPTC data. I had have not used ExifTool before, it is nice but for adding different comments to different images as part of IPTC data etc I think something integrated into GIMP would be much better along the lines of IrfanView. thanks for the response. alan Owen wrote: >> I have been watching and searching for a while but have not found much >> so I decided to ask. >> >> Is IPTC and EXIF support on the road map for GIMP in the near future? >> >> It looks like that information is currently stripped out of an image >> if >> the image is edited in GIMP. >> >> I would be nice if GIMP supported keeping the IPTC and EXIF >> information >> along with viewing it. >> > > > > With regard to exif data, there is an option in the jpeg save as > dialog to retain or strip out the exif data > > Out of curiousity I just converted a jpg with exif to png then ran > exiftool against it and got out some of the exif data, so I am not > sure your "strip out exif data" is a correct statement > > AFAIK, exif support has been in gimp for years.
