EXIF or IPTC tags to HTML comments?

[Rili]

Just wondering if there are any tools out there that can use the exif or
IPTC tags to create comments for html pages from jpg photos?

This would certainly save a lot of time when coding webpages and also allow
your own photos to be indexed fairly easily.

http://www.irfanview.com/ allows you to embed EXIF and IPTC tags which is
good, but it doesn't allow you to do it easily, ie, put up a text box with a
preview of each photo so that you can easily add comments while looking at
your photos.

Python... a simple script should do the trick for you. An excellent
EXIF-reading module is available over here:

Thanks,

I'll check them both out.

Try going to http://www.masmol.com/gm/ and download the "LeVeL BBS HTML
Gallery Maker 3.7b (2.6 Mb)" package. Open up the .zip file, and extract
the jce.exe program. jce = Jpeg Comment Editor. It does what I think you
said you wanted to do.

Oh, one more thing: after captioning the jpg (photo) files, I use JAlbum
(http://jalbum.net/) to automatically generate html web pages (albums) from
the photos, complete with captions. See http://genechan.webhop.net/ for
examples.

Maybe you should try the free Mapivi (http://mapivi.de.vu)?
It can add, edit and remove comments, EXIX and IPTC infos of JPEG
pictures and is able to generate webpages (galleries) including these
informations.
There is also a comfortable and fast search dialog to search for
picture meta informations.
Mapivi runs at least on Windows (but installation is still a bit
complicated here), UNIX, and Mac OS X.
