Dear List,<br />
<br />
to help with literacy in our part of Africa, we are creating proverbs in<br />
Scribus. Those are tiny "pictures", consisting of one sentence in a<br />
local language (maybe with some nice shading or whatever) plus one<br />
"clipart"-style illustration to go with the subject of the proverb plus<br />
a nice coloured backdrop.<br />
<br />
<br />
These we are exporting to jpeg-format (400 x 400 px) and then we release<br />
them into the wild via WhatsApp and possibly other messengers like<br />
Telegram. Our customers have smartphones, but not often computers.<br />
<br />
So please do not shout about exporting to jpeg, that is part of the<br />
concept. (Yes, normally it is export to PDF and is going to a commercial<br />
print shop, but that is old style, we are trying new style too.)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is my question: We can add metadata to our Scribus files under<br />
document properties. Some of those get exported into PDF output. But<br />
nothing gets into a jpeg. Not a complaint, just stating.<br />
<br />
Now I am looking please for a simple way to help my team of young<br />
Africans, to put the needed metadata into our jpeg-proverbs. I am<br />
willing to write a script for Scribus, if you help me with pointers please.<br />
<br />
I have found command-line tools to edit metadata of existing jpeg<br />
bitmaps, but those are not appropriate for my team.<br />
<br />
Any other tools (with a GUI) that you know for Linux for editing<br />
metadata in bitmaps?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Why do we want to put metadata into our bitmaps? Because we are using<br />
some illustrations under Creative Commons licenses and other free stuff.<br />
And mostly we are obliged (and we want) to add such information. But<br />
since our bitmaps are only 400 x 400 pixels, it is impossible to render<br />
so much text in a margin, so we need to use the metadata slots, like<br />
EXIF, IPTC or even XMP.<br />
<br />
Thank for your input,<br />
<br />
Martin<br />
<br />
If you send me your phone number, I will WhatsApp an example to you. My<br />
number is +229 974462 (add nine-five as final digits after all that).<br />
