Description noeck 2009-08-08 00:07:22 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux

This is not really a bug in the digiKam-software.

On the IPTC-Website (iptc.org) is »a list of software which claims to be compatible with IPTC Photo Metadata standards« called
»Software supporting IPTC photo metadata standards IIM and "IPTC Core"«:

http://www.iptc.org/cms/site/photometadatasupportlist.html

I think DigiKam should be listed there, too!

It's not a digiKam bug. We don't manage IPTC web site. We cannot do anything for that.

Please contact IPTC team and ask to change informations on website...
