Description Antonio E. 2006-06-29 14:57:36 UTC
Version:           0.9-svn (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

In reference to #109253, digikam can now save the comments in the files (JFIF,EXIF,...), but I think that it only save the new comments that an user make after upgrading to 0.9. So, is there any way to save all existing comments (I suposse that they are saved in the db) to the files? Maybe a batch operation. As the number of pictures can become very large, it would be useful to have something like that.

Thanks.
