20.3 The Wikipedia Inspector

Yet another unique feature in NeoFinder is the amazing Wikipedia Inspector.

Displaying the GPS coordinate of a photo in the map is nice, but what is actually visible on this photo?
Where is this location, and what interesting places are nearby?

The Wikipedia Inspector in NeoFinder answers all these questions.

Open the NeoFinder
Wikipedia Inspector in the Window menu:

wikipedia inspector menu command


NeoFinder will open a new inspection panel for you. Select any one photo with a geotag, and you will be pleasantly surprised by this:

NeoFinder shows you all Wikipedia records for places of interest near the geographical location specified in the photo. In this sample, the photo was taken in Cornwall, England.

NeoFinder even provides links to the full Wikipedia articles, and shows you the distances of the point described in the text to the place the photo was taken.

And that is not all!

You can select the text from the Wikipedia Inspector, and then maybe copy it to the NeoFinder database?

For that, you can use the
Tools button, which currently contains one single command in its menu, allowing you to copy the text to the XMP Caption of the selected file.

Or you can see what entries exist in the other languages of the Wikipedia, using the language menu near the top of the Wikipedia Inspector:
