Description Rafael Linux User 2014-06-13 10:17:35 UTC

Hello

This is a wish long time ago requested  http://osdir.com/ml/digikam-users/2011-02/msg00066.html
I work with photographs taken by other people. They put most of time nonsense and not regularized (uppercase, for example) commentaries in image metadata (IPTC), so those metadata are not usefull for me as tags. So, is important for me to avoid Digikam to import that info as tags, cause I must delete that imported tags manually.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Import images with embebbed metadata
2.Show tags database
Actual Results:  
All metadata is imported like tags

Expected Results:  
Let user decide if import or not metadata on images.

I've suggested to have categories for tags like "private" "public". Which reduces the abundance of useless tags exported by you, and on the other hand would yield the possibility to put the tags of other persons in a new category and the need to actively integrate them in your own set of tags.

I'm not sure if that is a clean solution to your report though, because you're talking about metadata that is imported as tags.

I'm talking about this scenario: Some people give me PS exported jpg files, with metadata added by this people. When Digikam read those metadata, it import them like tags, that are useless and is garbage as a tag (there are paragraphs as tags). So not sure you (good) solution is for this question.

Well - it would ease the problem because it wouldn't polute you're taglist, but those tags would be in a new category like "import"

It's a solution, but I don't know how it will work ... I continue thinking is better to let user to import or not automatically those tags  ;)
