Description anttiah 2011-11-22 15:31:53 UTC
Version:           2.2.0 (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                MS Windows

According to email conversation with Phil Harvey - ExifTool Author - following
XMP tags are not part of the XMP specification:

XMP-dc:Type
XMP-exif:DateTimeCreated

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
I don't exactly remember the steps needed to embed metadata in the sample file I sent to Phil Harvey. I think I used Image menu --> Metadata --> Edit All Metadata... route and typed test texts to all possible fields.

Attached is however the exact same sample photo I sent to Phil.


Expected Results:  
DigiKam should write metadata safely, correctly and robustly without the fear of corrupting your data. Only standard tags should be used when possible.

Sample photo's file size made it too big to attach.

You can send it to my private mail account. I will upload it to a shared location.

"Xmp.dc.Type" must be "Xmp.dc.type" (capitalization).
"Xmp.exif.DateTimeCreated" does indeed not exist.
Both strings appear only in the metadata edit kipi plugin
