History of Handling EXIF data and other bits
<p>While Mistral has been proving a little less than helpful with some areas, such as the move to Tumbleweed, presumably because it's training data is a little lacking in that area, it has been more helpful with less taxing coding problems and in the case of tidying the images from the camera's it actually provided an enhanced script with things I had been thinking about before I even asked! Still needs a little fine tuning, and some aspects are not in tune with Tumbleweed, or is that just Plasm6 desktop. But that is yet another thread!</p>
<p>The initial question was simple enough "What options do I have for editing the exif data on a set of images. In particular I need to change the Image Description from the identical 'SONY DSC' which appears on every image and then gets duplicated on the web upload."</p>
<p>I'd forgotten to add the target setup as I was on a new thread with the chat bot, so a Debian-based solution appeared, but being used to the differences again I could quickly check it out so discovered that the Debian package did not exist but exiftool already existed in my installing. Then correcting Mistral came up with a bash script rather than it's prefered python solution.</p>
