Hello All,
I'm trying to edit GPS Exif tags in jpegs as part of iPhoto plugin
and though I can find a few libraries that will read Exif data but
given Spotlights metadata magic I had hoped that there would be
something in Cocoa to help me. Has anyone here tried this before,
and where did it get you? If there are non-cocoa solutions perhaps
it would be better to reply off list.
spotlight only retrieves metadata that is set by the importer for
the file.
so if your plugin can succesfully add the tags (which you'd have to
handle, there are QuickTime constants for the GPS info and EXIF
manipulation in general) you'll still likely not have the GPS info
searchable via spotlight (since the standard jpeg importer likely
doesn't handle that)
anyway, Quicktime is likely what you need to manipulate the tags
