[Imker] Downloaded media meta data #9

Hi,

Love this app! Really useful.

I think it would be helpful to somehow obtain a photo's description/meta data as, maybe, a sidecar text file or some sort of text file data set? YAML perhaps? Something to match file name to it's meta data could be useful.

Thanks!

Just realized that one can use the image file name to make an API call:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=extmetadata&titles=File%3a1838_Christus_als_Apotheker_anagoria.JPG&format=json

So, I can write some code to loop over the downloaded images and make API call to get the image's details.

Cool!
