Description Michał S. 2009-08-13 17:49:14 UTC

Version:           1.0.0-beta3 (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

DigiKam shows (in metadata tab) EXIF Artist and Copyright string fields but doesn't sychronize them with IPTC/XMP metadata. So, if related fields are set in IPTC and XMP, EXIF Artist and Copyright fields are empty.

It will be usefull to sync this fields, similar as image comments/captions.

Comment 1 Marcel Wiesweg 2009-09-11 18:54:26 UTC

I do not quite understand this report. Which fields in EXIF should be synced to XMP or IPTC fields, and at which occasion?

Comment 2 Michał S. 2009-09-13 12:05:16 UTC

Marcel, I mean EXIF Fields Copyright and Artist. While XMP and IPTC related autorship and copyright fields are set by digiKam, these EXIF Fields are not set.

Comment 3 Marcel Wiesweg 2009-09-13 15:46:37 UTC

Ok, I see. It is Exif.Image.Copyright and Exif.Image.Artist in libexiv2.
I dont think we will read from these fields because they are not sufficiently standardised, but we can write to them following the recommendations from the EXIF standard.

Michal,

This file still valid using digiKam 2.x serie ?

Comment 5 Alan Pater 2015-03-07 03:51:20 UTC

It looks to me that this has been fixed for a while.

Digikam currently follows MWG guidelines, mapping the following fields together.

Artist:        Exif.Image.Artist, Iptc.Application2.Byline, Xmp.dc.creator
Copyright: Exif.Image.Copyright, Iptc.Application2.Copyright, Xmp.dc.rights
