Cool, I had done some preliminary work on (not exif) but displaying things in overlays on top of images and on the side (like face tags). I stopped because there was a bug in the underlying library that fussel uses for the image gallery and was waiting for them to fix it. However, this is definitely something I think that would be a great addition so once I sort out that blocking issue I will look at adding exif data for sure.
Just to get the ball rolling, how do you see it working? A toggle in the cofig for whether it should be shown? or a context "show exif", or a side bar or something? Any suggestions for how that might be used would be great.
PS most of the "work" is done in python, then just displayed in JS.
Cheers
Here is the ticket for reference, that has stopped me from doing much work in the area of context data overlays: https://github.com/cbenning/fussel/issues/3
Oh, in the case that most of it is done in Python, I'll take a look this weekend at your project to see if I can dissect how it works.
In my opinion, the more config options (with reasonable defaults), the better. I know that I'd always display the EXIF data on my site, but maybe someone wouldn't want to.
As for ideas of how to display it, I'm not sure, but here's some ideas from other projects that I attempted to use before I stumbled upon yours. Again, I'm not too familiar with HTML/JS in general, so I'm unsure of what limitations your project may be under. Apologies for the MS Paint!
(another static site generator) appears to use some semi-transparent overlay box. This appears to have some data formatting issues, but it's an idea. I'd imagine that we would prefer a fraction for shutter speed and having nice spacing around the stats
uses a side-bar. I wouldn't expect functionality like maps and such at the beginning, but perhaps with a route like this, we could add more data to this area as the functionality is expanded.
Very cool. Deinitely achievable. We could do it in one of two ways:
We could pick one, or have either/or working in the config.
Right now the problem blocking me was less the exif part, and more that the drawing on the canvas was not working. I'm considering looking at a new JS gallery component to help with that.
Hiya, I've tried out this project and it's the best fit so far for a simple photo gallery. I was just wondering if there's any plans for displaying EXIF data? I'm terrible at JS, else I'd offer assistance personally Cheers
