Exiftool can show the lens data of a range of lenses by the command:

exiftool -Composite:LensID <filename>


This can be shown in the Overlay Screen Display by storing the attached lua file in:

~/.config/geeqie/lua


and including in the OSD definition in Preferences/Windows:

%lua/lens_type.lua/%


It would be preferable if the data could be shown in the info sidebar also.




Using exiftool is too slow to be really useful. It needs to be read from the exif data itself.


The file exif.cc in the Darktable project has a section to read the lens name. Someone who knows cpp (that's not me) might be able to do a copy-paste from there.
