Include geotags to metadata #75

Closed sashazykov closed 5 years ago

sashazykov commented 6 years ago

It would be great if it was possible to load geotags too. I used Flickr to add geotags to my photos.

floydpink commented 6 years ago

I believe they get included naturally. If you have a public photo on flickr that has geotags - can you please share a link to that along with the downloaded JSON file for the same?

Also, there is a setting to download the “Original” tags vs. the “Internal” ones - you could try the download with the non-default setting and see if that helps.

sashazykov commented 6 years ago

I used "Original" setting, because I wanted to preserve spaces in tags. Have not tried the "internal" one. Here is the example:

https://secure.flickr.com/photos/infanticida/6204214446/

{"Tags":"India, Chandigarh, Le Corbusier, High Court","Description":"High Court of Punjab & Haryana, Chandigarh\n\nby Le Corbusier","Title":"Chandigarh Hight Court"}

It would be great to merge both original and internal tags, and to be able to download only tags without photos.

Thank you for the tool! It's really useful.

@floydpink I'm observing the same issue.

I'm testing it with the photo https://www.flickr.com/photos/nothingpersonal/44953795514/in/dateposted/. It has no embedded Exif.GPSInfo.* tags, geotags were added via Flickr interface. JSON file produced by flickr-downloadr contains no geotags (44953795514.jpg.json):

{"Tags":"","Description":"Somewhere in Covent Garden market","Title":"Wooden toys"}

I'm using flickr-downloadr-gtk v2.5.1.7 beta on macOS 10.13.6 (17G2307)

@dzhus - can you try changing the preference for tags from "Original" to "Internal" and post what you see for the same photo?

dzhus commented 5 years ago

@floydpink I tried both "Internal" and "Original" and the resulting JSON is exactly the same.

floydpink commented 5 years ago

@dzhus - thanks. will see if I can spend some time this weekend.

maybe it is the permissions, but on the photo you linked above I don't see any tags:

can you please post the screenshot of what you see as tags when you look at that photo on Flickr UI?

also, how do I go about adding the Exif.GPSInfo.* tags into some of my photos for testing?

dzhus commented 5 years ago

@floydpink Just to clarify, this issue is not about Flickr tags but about geo location stored as metadata on Flickr:

When photos are uploaded to Flickr without Exif.GPSInfo.* tags embedded in them, you still have an option to add a geotag on Flickr (drag and drop the photo on a map). This is the kind of metadata that is currently lost when downloading the stream via flickr-downloadr-gtk.

There's no problem with photos with geotags embedded in Exif prior to uploading to Flickr as flickr-downloadr-gtk pulls original files which have them anyways.

floydpink commented 5 years ago

ah, okay - so I have been confusing geotags with tags all along even with the OP! :)

thanks for the clarification - if this is a quick change I will try and add it in soon

floydpink commented 5 years ago

@dzhus - when you get a chance, can you please check if the latest release works with your photos as expected?

Thanks!
