Bug 136256

Caspar,

Give us more informations. Are you used the MetadataEdit kipi plugin (is still under development) ?

SVN commit 598955 by cgilles:

digikam from trunk : KipiInterface : if a kipi-plugin change pictures metadata, use libkipi::Interface::refreshImages() to update sidebar Metadata contents.

Important: Marcel, this way do not yet update database contents accordinly with metadata contents (Tags/Rating/date/comments <==> EXIF/IPTC) from an existing item in picture collections. This requires more indeep changes in Digikam::Scanlib and digikam::AlbumDB class. We need to discut about these changes together.

Caspar,

Please give me a fresh feedback using current implementation from svn of digiKam and kipi-plugins. Thanks in advance

Gilles

Placed an imagefile with filled iptc keywords via konqueror in an 
album . Opened digiKam to view the file and its tags. This works OK.

Caspar.

ok, closed...
