Metadata
You can use "A Photo Manager" as a android gallery app that supports editing and finding photos via properties (aka metadata, exif, xmp, iptc).
This Page shows technical details of supported photo properties (meta data)

- edit photo properties (exif)
- find photos
- define Virtual ALbums
- Export properties as csv in a Backup/Zip
- autoprocessing
- supported photo properties (exif,xmp,iptc)
- pc android photo properties sync
- Example: Take photos on android, autoprocessing (rename and add exif while move), transfer to pc
- Path : Absolute path with file name to jpg file
- DateTimeTaken : When the photo was taken (in local time or utc)
- Latitude: in degrees north. (-90 .. +90)
- Longitude: in degrees east. (-180 .. + 180)
- Tags: aka Keywords/Categories/VirtualAlbum (Since 0.6.0)
- Title: Short text used as caption
- Description: Longer text, may have more than one line
- Rating: 5=best .. 1=worst or 0/null unknown
Note: A complete, up to date list can be found in IMetaApi.java IPhotoProperties.java
Note: In Image-View menu command details you can see the image properties (Exif, IPTC, XMP, ICC)
Note: Use Edit photo properties (exif) to edit the properties of one or more photos.
There are different standards to store properties for jpg images
-
jpg exif segment
- Android can read and write the EXIF standard elements.
- Since version 0.6.1 APhotoManager can read and write non-standard EXIF elements for tags, title, description, rating
-
jpg iptc segment
- not nativly supported by android.
- APhotoManager read support since version 0.6.1
- Currently there is no android library to write properties in iptc format inside jpg files
-
xmp format
- not nativly supported by android.
- may be embedded in jpg files
- APhotoManager can read this since version 0.6.1
- Currently there is no android library to write properties in xmp format inside jpg files
- may be stored in seperate external sidecar files
- APhotoManager can read and write this since version 0.6.0
- csv format compatible with ExifTool is used for mass update of several images (importing/exporting)
- for details see pc android photo properties sync.
Since there are different standard/non-standard fields where photo properties can be stored the APhotoManager fields are mapped to EXIF, iptc and/or xmp fields.
- Read Precedence: EXIF - XMP-file - EXIF(extended) - XMP-jpg - iptc
- The first non empty value is used. If EXIF.DateTimeTaken(1) is empty the value from XMP-file.DateTimeTaken(2) is used.
- The number in brackets is the read precedence
- Rule: Fields that APhotoManager can write over fields that it can read but not write
- Rule: Standard fields over non-standard fields
- Note: The complete up to date mapping can be found in apmJpg2xmp.args
