Description Tosv 2010-03-11 21:10:43 UTC

Version:           1.1.0 (using KDE 4.4.0)
OS:                MS Windows
Installed from:    MS Windows

I'm using Digikam (1.1.0 and Kipi-plugins 1.1.0) to create- and edit image metadata in my collection of tiff-files. Here in Sweden we have the three characters Å, Ä and Ö, hence I'm using XMP instead of IPTC when working with my images. That's because IPTC does not support non-ascii characters.

This often works very well but when trying to use these three characters in the XMP Edit Metadata-panes "Byline"-field they will not appear. Although, they are working in the nearby Byline Title-field and in all other fields in the XMP Edit Metadata-pane. This is a problem because many names (and even the word "okänd" (unknown)) here in Sweden contains those characters.

Hi Tosv,

Is this still a problem with the new digiKam 3.1.0 release? You can download the installer from here:
   http://download.kde.org/stable/digikam/digiKam-installer-3.1.0-win32.exe

Hi Ananta.

Yes this is unfortunately still an issue. I downloaded v. 3.1.0 half an
hour ago and the problem remain. The problematic characters, in upper- and
lower case, are Åå, Ää and Öö.
