[RELEASE] MyPicsDB: Pictures DB with EXIF, IPTC & XMP tags

It's skin related.

MyPicsDB script do only one thing : set properties to home window (See readme.txt in addon directory)

MyPicsDB<Method>.Count = Number of pictures returned (max=limit)
MyPicsDB<Method>.1.Path = Path to picture #1
MyPicsDB<Method>.1.Name = Name of picture #1
MyPicsDB<Method>.1.Folder = Name of picture folder #1
MyPicsDB<Method>.1.Date = Shooted date of picture #1
MyPicsDB<Method>.2.Path = Path to picture #2
MyPicsDB<Method>.2.Name = Name of picture #2
MyPicsDB<Method>.2.Folder = Name of picture folder #2
MyPicsDB<Method>.2.Date = Shooted date of picture #2
...
...
...
MyPicsDB<Method>.10.Path = Path to picture #10
MyPicsDB<Method>.10.Name = Name of picture #10
MyPicsDB<Method>.10.Folder = Name of picture folder #10
MyPicsDB<Method>.10.Date = Shooted date of picture #10

<Method> can be Random or Latest depending on how script is called by skin.

So building widget, displaying information and so on is make by skin and skinners.

thank you for the quick answer

Is there a problem with 0.7.6 ?

In database MyPictures.db, in table files, there is no EXIF informations.

I'm using a test directory with only 3 pictures and when I open them with XnView, EXIF and IPTC informations are OK.

I never changed anything in the EXIF parser part.
Therefore I think it should work as always.

EXIF tags included are:

• "Image Model",
• "Image Orientation",
• "Image Rating",
• "Image DateTime",
• "EXIF DateTimeOriginal",
• "EXIF DateTimeDigitized",
• "EXIF ExifImageWidth",
• "EXIF ExifImageLength",
• "EXIF SceneCaptureType",
• "GPS GPSLatitude",
• "GPS GPSLatitudeRef",
• "GPS GPSLongitude",
• "GPS GPSLongitudeRef"
  

I will check on my HTPC and laptop at home as I'm at the office right now.

Release 0.7.7
Fixed: MikeBZH44 corrected the slideshow for skinners

Near future:
A translation editor for generic tag types is already working. With this editor you can consolidate tags of the same type like dc:subject or XPKeyword or suppress the tag type (leave translation empty).

From my point of view development for Eden is then finished and I would try to submit MyPicsDB & script.module.dialogaddonscan to official XBMC repository.
Because they only accept stable add-ons, any missing functionality should be added before submitting to official repo!
If you think that something is missing then tell it now.

For official repository, it's a good idea but it's not because MyPicsDB is on the official repository that you cannot upload new releases.

They don't want an addon with daily update or several updates in the week.

For my addon, I have put it on the official repo and I have already make 2 or 3 releases after.

Yes, that's true.
But there was every week a new release.
And this frequency is still to high.

Release 0.9.0 or RC 1

Fixed: "Add a path to database" now works correctly after you deleted one/some path(s).
Update: Translation editor for generic tag types. If the translation is empty then the tag type won't be displayed in MyPicsDB menus.
Attention: If the editor doesn't work correctly then delete MyPictures.db and rescan your pictures.
Update: Filter wizard GUI updated (dimensions corrected).

Please translate MyPicsDB!

I tagged several persons using Picasa however the add-on doesn't seem to find any persons in the pictures that have been tagged.
Could it be that Picasa uses a different EXIF field (or perhaps a non EXIF field)?
