Description schuschq 2012-12-01 22:31:48 UTC

In "Edit XMP" editing unchecked "[ ] Caption" field shouldn't be possible - same with other fields like "[ ] Copyright"; editing without checking the box results in unnoticed data loss;


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mark at least one image in thumbnails window.
2. choose "Image > Metadata > Edit all Metadata ..."
3. choose "Edit XMP"
4. if the field "Caption" isn't checked (default here), you can nevertheless edit the field ...
Actual Results:  
you save the metadata and think everything is ok. Next time you open the file, the metadata you added are not there ...

Expected Results:  
one shouldn't be able to edit the field at all without checking the box!

this applies to more fields (at least "Copyright" on the same page) 

it caused me several time to loose work of at least an hour together
