Re: [Gexiv2] Hello?

[Adam Dingle <adam yorba org>]

Robert,

thanks a lot for the patch.  I've attached it to our Redmine ticket for this feature at

http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/5456

That ticket itself might be the best place to continue this discussion, so maybe you could subscribe to it.  
Cheers -

adam

Ok, I've written some transfer annotations but to be honest I really 
am not familiar enough with the code to say if they're correct. I've 
essentially just guessed. I need somebody more familiar with gexiv2 to 
review this and give some feedback. 

All I can say at this point is that it's currently possible, in 
Python, to load a file, access some tags, write some tags, then save 
it. This brings us into "good enough for me!" territory however I 
understand that this is going to need some fleshing out to have more 
general API coverage. 

One issue that I do know of is that I hard-coded "lib64" in the 
Makefile because when I tried using $(LIB) it was installing the 
typelibs to the wrong place. This means that this patch is pretty 
broken for 32-bit systems, and I'm not sure how to fix that. The 
generated typelib should still *work* on a 32bit system, it's just a 
matter of writing the Makefile to install it to the right place. I 
guess this would involve querying pkg-config for the right directory 
but I don't really know how. 

Thanks! 

(I've also CC'd the pyexiv2 maintainer Olivier Tilloy since he 
expressed some interest in this project)
