    Phoronix: GIMP Gets Good Metadata Support Via Exiv2

    Making GIMP 2.10 a more exciting release is that the open-source image manipulation/editing program finally has good support for dealing with image meta-data for EXIF, IPTC, and XMP formats...

      I find it ironic that gimp refuses to change its name. It's the main reason I never recommend the program to anyone.
      The only project that has a worst name that I know of is Gigolo.

        Majority of the groundwork for that has been done in git master already. GIMP 2.10 will have basic high-bitdepth image editing functionality.

          If you want to donate to work on GIMP, one of the developers Jehan Pag?s is raising money to implement mirror painting. (see 4 news item on http://www.gimp.org/ or http://girinstud.io/news/2013/09/cro...nting-in-gimp/ ). Even if you are not particularly interested in that feature, Jehan contributes a lot to GIMP ( https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/lo...author&q=Jehan ) and success in this campaign is likely to lead to others.

            And a recent new option

            A super easy way to bribe developers to fix bugs and add features in the software you're using.

                Any news on 2.10 release date? I get that it may be difficult to say, so maybe at least some news on when some repos become available with 2.9 of decent stability? I used GIMP 2.7 for, IIRC, over a year before 2.8 got officially released and I had no problems with it, and all the major features to be in 2.8 were in 2.7.

                    That's a very neat GTK style. Does that come by default with GIMP on windows?
