Description Christopher Yeleighton 2010-11-28 15:56:42 UTC 
Version:           1.2.0 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

Image metadata are logically organised into sections.  When you describe a set of pictures, it makes sense to import metadata for different sections from different master images.  It would also be convenient to be able to import one section on the fly, without losing all the other sections you already have filled.  There is currently no UI to achieve this.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
1. For the image being edited, open the section "location".
2. Figure out that it is the same location as in that other picture you have already described.
3. Press the button "Import" to import the location data from the other picture.

Actual Results:  
3. Oops, no such button.
