darktable watermark template.

Software darktable
1

Hello everyone.

I have created a template to use with the watermark module of darktable. The file was created in Inkscape and can be modified as users like to add or remove info of the file (In my case I don´t use tags or GPS location so I removed this info of my template).

This template use the images metadata and it shows the info similar to what can be seen in some Instagram posts.

I share this template as Creative Commons — CC0 1.0 Universal

This is a preview of the info:

In the case of this image the order of the modules was:

Does the CC by Attribution license make it weird? Would someone using it darktable need to give credit on every images?

This is now integrated. You had two lines with:

$(EXIF_DAY) $(MONTH) $(EXIF_YEAR)

That I have fixed to use EXIF_MONTH.

$(EXIF_DAY) $(EXIF_MONTH) $(EXIF_YEAR)

Thanks again for this nice watermark !

Is it too late to lobby for YYYY-MM-DD format?
$(EXIF_YEAR) $(EXIF_MONTH) $(EXIF_DAY)
It would be nice to avoid ambiguity.

I agree with you about this date format, but what is “normal” varies depending on which part of the world you’re in.

It is rather easy to change this and other things to whatever one wants/needs using Inkscape, though.

EDIT
A full and shorter version, both in YYYMMDD and DDMMYYY format:

I just gave the integrated file a try … it seems to be corrupted? I’m on Windows.

By the way, I took the version from @difrkaguilar, did the exif_month change and made it work with color and font selection from watermark module.
Here’s the file:
metadata-template
May you want to (re)integrate?

Cheers, Andreas!

I double checked and the diff from the file I have integrated and the original. The diff is only changing $(MONTH) by $(EXIF_MONTH) in two places.

Maybe I shouldn’t have downloaded it from GitHubs GUI via “save as”.

Hello @achat,

Thanks for your work. There seem to be some anormaly.

The first thing I notice is, that the shadow-text doesn’t change its font. It is “hardcoded” as Roboto.

The second is, when I choose a bold font, only camera becomes bold.

I tried to fix the shadow-stuff and got it to changing the font, but it doesn’t change to italic if chosen. No idea what the problem is. :man_shrugging:

Fixed it. Should have tested a bit more carefully on my 13" screen just before bed :unamused:

edit: Fixed aperture-icon background color

Yes, that fixes it. I personally would prefer the shadows to be always black. When I change anything in Inkscape, pretty much everything breaks. I guess I would have to edit these properties in a text editor?

Right, change from line # 695 to 1005 every occurence of $(WATERMARK_COLOR) to your preferred color (origin was #666666).

Ok, got it, thanks. So I can look for everything with filter:url(#filter10XX) (blur) in style and set it to black.

I used this template and nothing showed up as image details as an overlay! I am not new to DT but have always used my own text for watermark instead of an actual SVG.
