Summary: Feature Request (KGeoTag): Import Google Maps location
- Copy location from clipboard
Product: kgeotag
Version: 1.2.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: t...@stonemx.de

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The core of this feature request is better compatibility with location data
from Google Maps. The feature request requests to fix a few issues for images
that have no or wrong GPS data stored in them and are replaced with Google
Maps.
THE GOAL (aka 'What I want to achieve')
Sometimes I have images that have no or wrong GPS info stored in them. I check
the location on Google Maps and copy the position from there. I mainly do that
because it's very easy and convinient. The main problem is that the location
copied from Google Maps can not used directly.
The goal of this feature request is that the location data from Google Maps can
be used more easy / directly from the clipboard.
EXAMPLE
Let's say I want to add the location of the Leaning Tower of Pisa to one of my
images.
The location on Google Maps would be 43.723011720295915, 10.39663301723743
I can right click the image in the list and manually enter the coordinates. I
can enter or copy numbers into the box to set the location. I could also assign
the location to the center of the map. This is a fast way but only if you can
find your location on the map itself.
ISSUES
1. The position of location data is swap in Google Maps. So the first number in
Google Maps is the second one in KGeoTag. If you just copy the numbers over
your images will end up somewhere in Somalia/Africa.
2. The box for a lat/lon values only support 5 digits after the decimal point.
If you copy longer numbers the number will just not be copied (without any
note).
3. When you copy the location data from Google Maps the decimal point is a full
point and the separator between the lat and lon values is a comma. When you
want to copy eg. the lat value with a full point into the box, it does not
work. When you replace the full point with a comma it does work. NOTE: Maybe
it's because my system language is german where the comma usually is used as
decimal point.
SUGGESTIONS
1. A "copy location from clipboard" entry would be good. Then you could right
click+copy the location in Google Maps and then right click+copy location from
clipboard in KGeoTag. A function behind this menu entry would check if it's a
known location format and if so add it to the image's metadata.
2. This could also be done in form of a pop-up widow that is less strict about
it's entries. If a value can not be accepted there should be a feedback note.
It took quite some time to find out why KGeoTag did not copy certain locations.
