#DIGIKAM DATABASES HOW TO#

Select you images in the lower-left list (I've selected all) and click 'Apply reverse geocoding' button. Up there, I clicked the 'Add all address elements' menu item and all control tags added properly below the 'Places' tag. or you can click 'Add all address elements' and all control tags(each containing a different address element) will be added, sorted by scale(country is bigger than city). So, you will have country tag, county tag, city tag. The menu elements gives you the possibility to select what control tags will you want to add. Don't worry about the control tags, because they will not be added as tags to your host application(here digiKam). This way, when applying the reverse geocoding service, it will know where to add the new geotags. Let's say you want to add your new geotags as childs of 'Places' tag, so you right-click it and a menu appears.īefore I explain what does each menu element, I should tell you how this works: when you select an address element tag from the menu, a control tag(coloured with red) appears as a child of parent tag. At first, here is the widget, with the tag tree located in the center:

#DIGIKAM DATABASES HOW TO#

I will make a step-by-step tutorial, to show how to work with it. The tag tree from the center of the widget will be the place where all the fun will take place. You should try each of them, because they provide different results on some areas.Īfter you select all this, you should select the language, because you may want to have special characters in the retrieved data. But what happens when you have thousands of photos? The solution comes from the Reverse Geocoding widget (which can be found in Geolocation widget) that does the job for you with just some clicks.īut how will this widget do the job? Well, first you need to set some parameters.Don't worry, you will have to set them only once if you're happy with them.įirstly, you need to select the service that will provide your data. Of course, you can take them one by one and add geotag them manually. Let's say you are a user who wants to have all his photos geotagged.

The location names can be stored in the images as new tags, allowing the user to easily search for all pictures he took in a country, city or even street. and stores this information in the image. The idea of reverse geocoding is that when the coordinates on earth of an image are known, the application retrieves the associated human readable location: City, street, country, etc.
