Description MarcP 2018-09-14 16:34:36 UTC

Hi. This the last Date-related bug I submit, I promise.

I have noticed that I was unable to change the date in some pictures. I checked the metadata editor and everything seemed to be ok. Then I checked the Metadata panel and I realized that under the XMP tab, at the bottom, there's a "video" section with the fields DateTimeOriginal, DateUTC and ModificationDate, all three with the same date. Most other pictures do not have these fields.

I don't know how that information got there, as it is just a jpg image, not a video. Apparently, the picture seems to be edited from digiKam-5.8.0 (last march, to be more precise), but I'm currently using the last 6.0beta1.

Regardless, that date is impossible to change. The metadata editor does not show any "video metadata" option in the XMP tab.

Sample image with this problem.

In the metadata viewer, there's a "video" section that cannot be edited from digikam.

With the newly added Time Adjust tool in the digiKam git/master version it will also be possible to correct or set the XMP:Video date.

I saw the new tool to change the time and date, including the XMP:video date. However, I am not sure how to remove just the XMP:video date from a picture file without changing any other metadata. Is there any possibility to include the XMP:video date in the XMP tab of the Metadata Editor, next to the digitization and creation dates?

Comment 7 Maik Qualmann 2018-09-22 20:21:20 UTC

It is now possible to remove the section Xmp:Video with the BQM tool for removing metadata. It would also be possible to add something else in future.
