Andreas, sound like a problem with Exiv2 ? Gilles Caulier *** Bug 287272 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Gilles, I think this is a usage problem. If these are fields in a structure, then they have to be set accordingly, Exiv2 doesn't do that by itself. You can get an idea from the example here: http://www.exiv2.org/example5.html - Look for "structure" and you'll find tags like "Xmp.xmpDM.videoFrameSize/stDim:w". I'll check the IptcCore specs and come back with more specific info. Andreas Gilles,
This is how to add the CreatorContactInfo structure as far as I can tell:
// Add a creator contact info structure
xmpData["Xmp.iptc.CreatorContactInfo/Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrCity"] = "Kuala Lumpur";
xmpData["Xmp.iptc.CreatorContactInfo/Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrCtry"] = "Malaysia";
xmpData["Xmp.iptc.CreatorContactInfo/Iptc4xmpCore:CiUrlWork"] = "http://www.exiv2.org";
The XMP-SDK serializes this to:
<Iptc4xmpCore:CreatorContactInfo
Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrCity="Kuala Lumpur"
Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrCtry="Malaysia"
Iptc4xmpCore:CiUrlWork="http://www.exiv2.org"/>
Andreas
Thanks Andreas, I will take a look in libkexiv2 Gilles Git commit 8111d3535d289d3f751957c016c1d0267f20b579 by Marcel Wiesweg. Committed on 14/04/2012 at 17:16. Pushed by mwiesweg into branch 'master'. Fix accessing IptcCore contact info structure in XMP, as recommend by A. Huggel. M +2 -1 NEWS M +24 -24 libs/dmetadata/dmetadata.cpp http://commits.kde.org/digikam/8111d3535d289d3f751957c016c1d0267f20b579 In a short test, the information from the test .xmp given above was read correctly with this patch applied |
Created attachment 65938 [details] XMP sidecar file with incorrectly written IptcCore tags Version: 2.2.0 (using KDE 4.7.2) OS: MS Windows According to email conversation with Phil Harvey - ExifTool Author - following IptcCore tags have been written incorrectly: CiAdrCity CiAdrCtry CiAdrExtadr CiAdrPcode CiAdrRegion CiEmailWork CiTelWork CiUrlWork These are elements of the "ContactInfo" structure used by CreatorContactInfo, not stand-alone IptcCore tags. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: In DigiKam settings choose: Metadata Writing Mode: "Write to XMP sidecar only" Then add metadata using right hand side Caption/Tags -button --> Information panel. (I think I had to create metadata template first (using pencil button on Information panel) writing just some test text in all possible fields. I then applied this template into a selected photo. I had marked my actual photo file as READ ONLY in Windows Explorer.) Expected Results: Software should write metadata correctly and robustly!
