fim and metadata changes

[CharlesNepote]

I use to manage my image collection with Digikam. And I often modify image metadatas:

• because my taxonomy evolves
• because of the progresses of face recognition
• and so on.

Would it be possible to let fim hashes the part of the image file which is the image and the not part representing the metadata? This request is relevant for many file formats such as jpeg, tif, mp3, etc.

I've got no idea if it's possible or not but I think some file format probably have a part reserved for content and another one for metadata.

Thanks for the good job.

This advanced feature requires for Fim to know every different file format and analyze their contents depending on their format specification.
Currently, it's not planned to do this.

I understand.
