It would also be nice to have (visible) infolabels like title and some kind of plot on photos - this way I finally could transform my BigPictures script to a plugin (Take a look if you don't know what I talk about).

As I understand, most meta-data/infolabels are nowadays exposed to the skin. See:
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/827
Or isn't this what you mean? Otherwise, succes in transforming your wonderfull script into a plugin!

Any progress on this? I think the sort on date bug is resolved, the exposed exif info is in shape. Also the video in slideshow bug is close to being terminated.

I saw the sort-on-date fix. I'm working on a game database with the same database abstraction, so these two xbmc libraries should be complementary to each other.

Hi garbear,
Is it possible to integrate some form of facial recognition to tag people/faces in your picture library say like Picasa? I think there is an opensource facial recognition project called libface written in c++.

This is something I'd love to see. I won't be integrating libface in XBMC because there's a better option. Having the ability to scrape photos from photo services, such as Picasa and Facebook, would greatly ease the tagging process - I imagine tagging on a 10-foot interface is much more awkward, and their UIs are extremely suited to the discovery and cross-referencing of people in photos. Additionally, including libface as a dependency adds complexity and additional code we have to maintain.
Tagging will happen in XBMC, our UI just won't be the one doing the tagging.

Thanks for the reply garbear. Would it be possible for the picture library to read the picasa.ini files (located in the same directory as the pictures) that Picasa stores face/people information in?

No, that will be abstracted by a python add-on. But in that regard it's still possible, and likely to happen

Definitely post what you find. Picture tags are generally extensible, so I wouldn't be surprised if one of them had a de-facto standard way of tagging people.

Actually rubpa, I read that somewhere too. Although I scanned my pictures directory with the latest Picasa then checked the jpg tag data of some of the images and cant find any with changes by Picasa. I however do have ini files created in each directory related to face/person data. Perhaps I have some incorrect settings? Garbear, I will have a bit more of a play and see what I find.
