Description Anders Lund 2008-12-22 19:42:38 UTC
Version:           0.9.4 (using 3.5.10, Arch Linux)
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27-ARCH

According to  http://www.iptc.org/std/Iptc4xmpCore/1.0/documentation/Iptc4xmpCore_1.0-doc-CpanelsUserGuide_13.pdf the subject panel should contain TPTC status codes that can be obtained from http://www.newscodecs.org. Theese should either be selectable fro a list, or this information should be on the GUI, if I am not mistaken.

Other panels/fields have other meanings that are not explained in the editors documentation.

I find in general this editor very hard to understand, trying to translate it to my language (danish) I find that the provided information in the contextual help is very sparse.

I understand that this is a very advanced tool, but I still find that it should provide enough information for everyone to at least understand the puropse of each field.
