Description Christian Häne 2009-03-25 10:38:01 UTC

Version:           0.10.0 (using KDE 4.2.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Synchronize Images with Database does not save Copyright, Credit, Source, By-line, By-line Title in IPTC. I think this should be saved to the images with this function.

Hum, and in XMP ?

Can you confirm this problem using digiKam 0.9.5 ?

Comment 2 Christian Häne 2009-03-25 10:59:04 UTC

XMP is totally empty for all my images. I don't know why.

I don't have installed 0.9.5 but i can confirm the same behavior in 0.9.4. Now due to testing with 0.9.4 i found out that both versions 0.10.0 and 0.9.4 save the Copyright, Credit, Source, By-line, By-line Title in IPTC for only the first image of the album when running synchronize Images with database.

I really think this is a bug.

Comment 3 Ian Hubbertz 2009-03-26 12:57:33 UTC

Yesterday I tried to use "Synchronize Images with Database" to add Rating (IPTC Urgency) to images using 0.9.5.

This failed for approx. 2/3 of the images. I can dig deeper into this issue this evening (or next weekend), if you tell me where to look at.


Furthermore, some unrated images where tagged with "urgency 8". I know that digikam don't distinguish between zero stars and no rating, but IMHO a zero rating should not get written to IPTC, because in most cases it means that the image has not been rated yet.

I found out now why it was empty i compiled exiv2 without xmp support.

I recompiled exiv2 with xmp support and this resolved the bug completly for digikam 0.10.0 i didn't test 0.9.4.

SVN commit 953296 by cgilles:

if Exiv2/libkexiv2 is compiled without XMP support, do not return false and continue to play with IPTC metadata

Christian, Ian,

Please checkout code from svn (digiKam 0.11) and compile/install it.
