The Info Sidebar shows various information about the image and can also be used for metadata editing. It consists of panes. Left-clicking on the pane title expands or collapses the pane. Right-clicking on the pane title or on empty space opens a context menu allowing you to add and remove panes, or move them up and down.

Add entry

Key

  Exiv2 or Geeqie (formatted...) key FIXME: list of formatted... tags.

Title

  Title that is shown.

Show only if set

  Show only if the tag exists in the file.

Editable

  Displays the value as editable.

Note: Geeqie internally converts Exif and IPTC metadata to XMP on read and back on write, thus any changes made to Exif and IPTC here will be lost on write. Edit the corresponding XMP instead. An exception are Makernote tags which don't have an equivalent in XMP, but there is another limitation in that Makernote can't be written to an external file (sidecar or Geeqie private file).

Show hidden

> Shows all entries regardless of "Show only if set".

### 7.1.1.5. GPS Map

Geeqie must be built with libchamplain.
