thunar-apr: Read XMP tags and override
Hello,
I noticed that Thunar can read EXIF tags, which is nice! However, there is another kind of metadata that is almost as common, called XMP. XMP should also be read, and in the presence of both tag groups, XMP should be given preference. libexif should be able to handle both.
The reason being that when both are present, the EXIF group is often truncated in favor of the (more versatile) XMP one. this can be observed e.g. in Gimp. In Gimp Image->Metadata->Edit Metadata, set a description, then export with both EXIF and XMP enabled. Both tag groups will be present, but the EXIF comment/description ones will contain placeholders ("PADBYTES"). The intention seems to be that XMP should be given preference.
Thanks!
