Dolphin - feature request - geolocation in EXIF
SUMMARY
The current implementation of geo location information in EXIF is rather
limited in use. The goal of the following suggestions to make them more easy /
ready to use.
Note: Some links are missing: "Your comment has been automatically blocked as

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. take / download / steal a picture with geolocation
2. open it's properties window in Dolphin
3. Go to the "Details" tab and scroll down to the geolocation information
OBSERVED RESULT
1) The geolocation is already made into a link. When you click it you get to
the corresponding site on OpenStreetMap
2) You can also right click the link and select the option to copy the link
address (geo:X.xxxx,Y.yyyy)
3) You can also right click the link and select the option to select the entire
location (X,xxxx°N Y,yyyy°W)
SUGGESTED RESULT
I have randomly chosen
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Baldcypress,_Hyde_Park,_London,_England_2023-10-26.jpg
as image to use for this purpose (mainly because it has a geolocation, does not
show anything specific and is licenced under a free licence)
1) Linking this to OpenStreetMap is a good idea even though IMHO there should
be an option somewhere to select a different location service like Google Maps
(maybe it already exists and missed it).
Having a link to [LINK REMOVED] is fine even though a marker like on [LINK
REMOVED] would be a better idea.
2) To copy the link does not do anything usefull in my opinion.
"geo:51.5102,-0.175897" sounds like something you would use in an html file to
provide eg. a link for Google Maps that can be used for routing. You can not do
anything useful on a laptop with this string as even a search for it on Google
does not give you a result.
In my opinion it would be a far better option if you could copy the location in
a standard decimal format. For the example file this would be "51.5101491,
-0.1758975". The lon and lat values have dots as decimal points and are
separated with a colon. It has to be that specific, because location services
like Google Maps or OpenStreetMap will fail otherwise.
3) If you select all and copy the location you get "51,5102°N 0,175897°W".
Again I don't think that having a colon as decimal points is a good idea here
as you have to alter the string for it to be usable in OpenStreetMap or Google
Maps. Replacing the colon with a dot is a far better option for that as the
location information can be used without modification.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Note that I'm on a system with German as default language where often a colon
is used as decimal point. If this is the case, this section should not be
internationalised.
