Pelican JPEG Reader.

Original author: Mitchell Currie

Requirements:
  • Python3
  • Pelican
  • Pillow library (PIL for python3)
  • Exiv2 binary accessible by $PATH

To avoid undesired creation of content, the specific extension must be jpeg_article, i.e. "myPhoto.jpeg_article", it's a regular JPEG image, but this avoids your other JPEG images getting picked up. It can work for pages or blogs, and determines based on whether it's content/blog or content/pages (or whatever you use for content).

Most relevant EXIF/IPTC flags from Exiv2 that are used

Page/Article Field Exiv2 Key Description
title Exif.Image.ImageDescription Defaults to 'Untitled'
author Exif.Image.Artist Default to Unknown. �Currently Scalar
date Exif.Photo.DateTimeOriginal Undefined behaviour if not present as required
slug Iptc.Application2.Headline Defaults to title's value
body Exif.Photo.UserComment This goes under image in page/article, blank default
summary Iptc.Application2.Caption Used for article index, defaults to first 140 characters of the body
category Iptc.Application2.SuppCategory Specifies the category of page/article if USE_FOLDER_AS_CATEGORY not set
template Iptc.Application2.ObjectName If specified will set the template metadata property to tell pelican where to look
tags Iptc.Application2.Keywords For each entry found with this key, a tag is created with the value of the entry
metadata['exiv2'] Everything All exiv2 fields from the image are shoved into the metadata dictionary of the item, under exiv2 key for template usage
