Description Dmitri Popov 2010-02-22 14:57:24 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    I Don't Know

When a getagged RAW file is saved as JPEG, the geotags are not present in the resulting JPEG file. Here is what Gilles Caulier has to say about this issue:

I suspect that flickrexport tool convert RAW to JPEG internally and do not include kipi host application (digiKam) metadata set in database (as geolocation for RAW which are read only)

It's a bug, not critical, but a bug. Code relevant is there:

http://lxr.kde.org/source/extragear/graphics/kipi-plugins/flickrexport/flickrtalker.cpp#616

Look like all metadata are restored from RAW file to JPEG file but not digiKam properties.

Dmitri,

This file still valid using kipi-plugins 2.4 ?

Everything works properly now. Geotags are preserved during the RAW to bitmap conversion. I've marked the issue as resolved -> fixed.
