[FR] Add photo location (or other EXIF data) to note frontmatter #32

Closed Kageetai closed 2 months ago

Kageetai commented 10 months ago

Hey, I mostly use this plugin with my journal entries, and was wondering whether it's possible to use a feature I often saw in other journal apps, meaning when adding a photo, it takes the location data (and optionally maybe time) from that photo and adds it to the metadata/frontmatter of that note. Would that be possible/feasible here as well?

Interesting idea, how would that work with multiple photos in a journal entry?

Kageetai commented 10 months ago

Maybe if there is already location data in the frontmatter present, prompt the user whether to overwrite it? Or a toggle in the settings to always overwrite or noTt!

Just found this plugin, that kinda solves a similar use case, but would still be nice to be able to extract it automatically. And this Geocoding Properties also allows overriding existing properties...

Hi @Kageetai it turns out that Google does not provide location data from their Photos API, so sadly this can't be done:

Too bad, but thanks for checking and such
