I would like to edit a JPG EXIF data in Gimp. Perhaps I need a plugin or something, but I don't know how to search for and download the plugin. Plus, when Gimp opens a JPG it converts it to XCF format. Hopefully when I export it again the EXIF data will still be there. Thanks.

Odd. The link is http://photo.stackexchange.com/questions/1512/are-there-gimp-plugins-that-allow-one-to-view-and-edit-exif-data – Paolo Gibellini Oct 27 '15 at 20:43

Thanks. Now it's working. Yes I had found that page, but it is geared towards Linux users and I'm on Windows 7. And you have to untar and unzip and compile and install it form scratch. I was wondering if you could install a plugin in Gimp via a URL, just like in the Eclipse IDE? Thanks. – John Sonderson Oct 27 '15 at 20:49

2I see. At the moment I'm using an external tool (IrfanView). There is a lot of free tools for Windows, e.g. GeoSetter, ExifTool, etc.. See also here and this comprehensive list. – Paolo Gibellini Oct 27 '15 at 21:48
As of Gimp 2.9.4 (possibly 2.9.2) there is a built-in metadata editor/viewer. It is under the menu > Image > Image Metadata.
See http://libregraphicsworld.org/blog/entry/gimp-gets-advanced-exif-xmp-iptc-metadata-support
If you are on OSX and want a binary of this version (rather than compile from source), try Partha's McGimp variants, the McGimp 2.9.5 64-bit Experimental, or McGimp 2.9.5 64-bit Color Corrected Experimental, an interesting project in its own right.

As of 2018-02-28, chocolatey provides GIMP 2.8.22 which has a very broken metadata editor. It will not actually save the metadata entered. In some development versions, there may be a security feature that removes all MetaData, not just GPS, without prompting. – rjt Feb 28 '18 at 18:38
