Description Peter Jakobs 2006-09-22 07:02:20 UTC 
Version:           0.9.0-beta2 (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

Keywords can be assinged to images either by the context menu ore by dragging and dropping them from the keyword filter, which is much more convenient as multiple keywords can be assigned to multiple images at the same time. However, when using the drag-and-drop method, the keywords are only written to the database, not to the file itself (despite the correct settings). When using the context menu, the keywords are written to the file. In fact, when assigning a number of keywords using the drag-and-drop method and then removing one using the context menu, the rest of them will be written to the file.
Also, I'd love to see a method to globally write keywords that are in the database to the files, as I have a whole set of keywords in the database that have not been written to the files.

I consider this bug as very valid, it's on the TODO list (but for post 0.9.0 I think). 127583, more precisely the suggestions by Daniel Bauer in comment 5, are very similar, I mark this bug as duplicate to concentrate discussion in one place.
What's new here is the whish of batch-writing iptc, but that can be done from the sidebar as well when multiple selection is supported.
