Compiler:          Target: i586-manbo-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.24.7-desktop-1mnb

legend is not copied to iptc caption or exif usercomment

when you open exif or iptc window to modify
all is in grey
not able to activate the fields according to modify

i tried with success to modify iptc caption with picasa 3 (linux)
Comment 1 caulier.gilles 2008-11-16 16:18:02 UTC
It's not clear...

legend == comments ?

Are you set on right option in digiKam metadata settings panel ?

Comment 2 Philippe ROUBACH 2008-11-16 16:46:17 UTC
i use only the digikam syntax i see in the different windows

i made an error: the synchronizing mecanism works well thus i can modify the iptc caption but there is a remaining pb

i exlain

in the right panel there is a tool to see and to modify "legende" and "Etiquettes"

i see a value in "légende" field and another value in iptc caption field
there is a synchronize mecanism which works well then i found the same value
to exif "usercomment" and to iptc "caption"

but if i want to use the tool in the menu "image" then "Métadonnées"/modifier iptc then select "légende" all is in grey
and it's true for all other groups as "mots clés"






Comment 3 caulier.gilles 2008-11-16 16:55:10 UTC
"Légende" and "étiquette" are French translations. Please switch digiKam into English to report here. Others developpers do not speak French (:=)))

Which file format ? Sound like you trying to changes metadata to a read only file (as RAW for ex)

Currently Exiv2 stable library (used in background to play with metadata) support only JPEG in writting mode. With next version, it will be possible to write in RAW tiff/EP files (NEF, PEF, DNG), TIFF, PNG, and JPEG2000.

Comment 4 Philippe ROUBACH 2008-11-16 17:24:06 UTC
my files did not change this night
they are jpg type
i checked the read-wwrite properties. all is ok

with picasa i changed with success iptc caption and "keywords" fields
with digikam with the tool in the right panel i changed with success also
iptc caption and iptc keywords

for english spoken (sorry)
"légende" = Caption
"Etiquette" = tags

I found the problem in libkexiv2. please checkout code from svn, recompile, install and try again...

Comment 12 Philippe ROUBACH 2008-11-16 18:40:30 UTC
is there a mean to minimize compiling and installing ?
Comment 13 caulier.gilles 2008-11-16 18:49:53 UTC
just recompile and install libkexiv2. It's enough. Binary compatibility is preserved...

Gilles Caulier
Comment 14 Philippe ROUBACH 2008-11-16 18:57:21 UTC
ok
but
with what statement (svn) i load the new version ot just the diff ?
Comment 15 caulier.gilles 2008-11-16 19:11:20 UTC
go to libkexiv2 source dir, and type "svn up"

After that you can compile and install

That all...

Gilles Caulier
Comment 16 Philippe ROUBACH 2008-11-16 19:38:54 UTC

Comment 17 caulier.gilles 2008-11-16 19:45:43 UTC
