TODO:

1- Add more individual tags to XMP, EXIF and IPTC
2007-12-14 18:18:37 +00:00
2- Get properties like 'width' and 'height' from caps
3- Review the code (in order to move to gst-plugins-good)
4- Document how the plugin works (atchitecture and interaction beteween modules)
2008-02-02 20:22:19 +00:00
5- Improve the test application (to save also in png and to make it possible to set the metadata elements properties)
2008-02-28 10:41:56 +00:00
6- Implement GDateTime support in GLib to be used by GStreamer (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50076)
7- Use a standard GStreamer Data-Time type to map our Data-time tags
8- Make the correct merge mode for multiple value tags (bag and seq) like dc:creator, ...
2007-12-13 17:19:54 +00:00
OPEN ISSUES:
1- What is (How) the best way to delete some tag?
2- How to change metadata when the orignal image was modified.
ex: file.jpeg has XMP, then we do filesrc ! metadataparse ! jpegdec ! pngenc ! metadatamux ! files
is the metadata still valid? which fields are no valid anymore?
2008-01-17 16:10:48 +00:00
3- In EXIF, how to make sure we are compliant with the specification when adding some tag? For example, we are not considerinb what are mandatory (or optional) IFDs for tags.
4- Add GST_TYPE_FRACTION support for GStreamer TAGS
5- currently, in JPEG files, if there is a Photoshop segment, everything inside it but IPTC will be lost. From the point of view of implementation it is easy, but I still don't now how to solve from the point of view of "designing". Anyway I think it is not so important.
6- language is not considered in XMP (How to do it with GStreamer?)
2008-02-28 10:41:56 +00:00
7- Add a helper function that convert from value to string. For example,
aperture-size is 2.7 and the app wants to show "f/2.7", 'contrast' is a range
and the app wants to show as "Normal", "Soft", "Hard". For the time being it is
up to the APP to make this conversion.
