Bug ID: 399069
Summary: allow edit metadata
Product: gwenview
Version: 17.12.3
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: gwenview-bugs-n...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Gwenview can show all kinds of Metadata for Images.
but it does not allow to edit them.
if you search on the net you find that in old version - if you installed the
kipi-plugins - there was an dialog that could do exactly this.
for reference there is a screenshot in this superuser answer:
https://superuser.com/questions/34320/gui-for-editing-image-metadata/702417#702417
so i installed the kipi-plugins.
the plugins menu got some entries - but not the 'Edit all metadata' one.
after some searching i found a forum question regarding exactly this:
https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=213&t=138600&p=404063#p370814
after some more research i found
Bug 371820 - Kipi plugins are working but with less features than Gwenview was
kde4 app
with this it is clear that not all plugin-parts got ported. so the metadata
editor seams to be lost..
As the linked bug requests - here comes the wishlist item:
please add some editor functions for the metadata.
if there is already a wishlist entry for this please apologies - i did not find
it.
and please also let me know if this kind of task is outside the scope of
Gwenview.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open image
2. look at 'Information' → 'Meta Information' → 'More...'
3. try to edit (for example) the 'comment' field
OBSERVED RESULT
the fields are all 'read-only'
EXPECTED RESULT
some options to edit and add missing / empty fields
