**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Oct 26 02:59:57 2020 Oct 26 04:40:24 My friend wants to automatically edit all of the photographs he has taken that have the date and time of day when the photograph was taken in the metadata of the image file to have this information visible in the image, like the timestamp feature of Snap Camera HDR for Android does. Is there a documented way to do this without having to spend hours reading documentation for something like Image Magick or Script-Fu (correct name?) for The GIMP to learn how Oct 26 04:40:25 to do it? My friend uses Android 8 on a smartphone as his camera and uses Windows 7 for x86-64 on his home computer but also has Windows 10 on his notebook computer in case something relevant works on Windows 10 but not on Windows 7. Oct 26 04:59:59 brolin_empey you could try something like darktable, DigiKam, Shotwell, open source or StudioLine Photo Basic (free) Oct 26 05:00:16 check out https://www.darktable.org/usermanual/en/effect_group.html Oct 26 05:01:23 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7WEEWh0nIM Oct 26 05:24:46 xmn: Thank you for the suggestion. I need to dig deeper to see if darktable still supports Windows 7. I also realised after you replied that XnView, which I have used a bit for years, may also be able to do what is wanted. Oct 26 05:25:18 yeah that is a good one to it seems, never used it though Oct 26 05:25:41 but might be simpler. Darktable would be great for editing of course. Oct 26 05:26:03 I thought he had a win10 machine too though Oct 26 05:29:08 btw, this page might have some info for you. https://www.darktable.org/about/faq/ Oct 26 05:32:13 xmn: He does have Windows 10 on his notebook computer but he usually uses his desktop computer with Windows 7 when he is at home. Everything I have redd about darktable so far just says darktable is available for “Windows”, which is very imprecise because current versions of Windows are not even Windows any more in a strict sense, they are Windows NT but Microsoft stopped using Windows NT as a marketing name beginning with Windows 2000, which began Oct 26 05:32:13 development as “Windows NT 5.0” until one of the beta releases, beta 2 if I recall correctly. Oct 26 05:33:54 yeah, the windows install might be more work then is need for the project. Oct 26 05:38:10 Arguing that Windows 2000 and later are not Windows NT because Microsoft no longer uses Windows NT as a marketing name is like arguing that my previous car is not a Volkswagen Typ(e) 1C because it is marketed as the Volkswagen New Beetle. Oct 26 05:41:55 lol Oct 26 05:55:28 xmn: Apparently https://www.darktable.org/about/faq/ does not explicitly specify the minimum version of Windows nor the supported architectures but the answer to the third-last question on the page implies that Windows 7 is supported. I gather that only Windows for x86-64 is supported, which is apparently referred to as “win64” in the installer file name even though “64-bit Windows” does not necessarily mean x86-64: it originally meant Itanium and Oct 26 05:55:28 in recent years it can mean ARM instead of x86-64. Oct 26 05:56:52 yeah that's more or less what I saw. But I don't run window expect in a vm for testing. So didn't look deeper. Oct 26 05:57:29 But looks like the setup may be more work then some other software that works on win7 Oct 26 05:59:48 Apparently darktable does still support Windows 7 but only for x86-64, which is OK because that is what my friend uses on his home computer. I should try to check if XnView can do this task too, though, but I am almost out of time for today because it is 23:00 (on Sunday) here. Oct 26 06:01:51 if xnview installs easier probably better. Unless your friend might appreciate the features of DT. Not so familiar with the features of XV. Oct 26 17:18:22 btw, today my cam door is sensing Oct 26 17:22:19 \o/ Oct 26 17:22:38 I guess nothing changed apart from the fact that today it just works? Oct 26 17:25:11 yes :-p Oct 26 17:25:18 voodoo Oct 26 18:00:56 hey Oct 26 18:01:31 anyone know if the gemini pda has 4g working on linux? Oct 26 18:01:49 (maybe ot but i couldnt find a better channel to ask in) Oct 26 18:44:51 xmn: Will darktable work for this use case with JPEG files (technically they are JFIF files because they have a header) as opposed to raw image formats? Oct 26 18:53:06 I use darktable for none raws mostly Oct 26 18:53:52 also I'm no expert :) and probably better to take this to #darktable. There should be very knowledgeable folks in there. Oct 26 18:54:07 *non-raw Oct 26 21:55:57 android users - my Sprint S7 doesn't wake itself up for an alarm if it's powered off. Is this a general Android thing or soemthing with my setup? Oct 26 22:11:51 just read up on it online. seems in geenral android and ios devices do not care about alarms when powered down. such basic funvtionality :-( **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Oct 27 02:59:57 2020
