Description André 2019-10-11 15:24:55 UTC

I can not select the option "configuration / metadata / if possible write metadata in Raw file" since I changed distribution (Digikam 5.9 / Emmabuntus Debian Strech). It works correctly on another computer (Digikam 5.3 / MX 18). I compared the list of installed packages between the 2 stations. It's the same except for version numbers of course. Note: I can only run Digikam via command line, after putting "unset QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME". But Irt said this point is due to delay to have a good gateway between KDE and Gnome desktop and it not concerns this forum.

Hi,

This option have been disabled due to the huge risk to destroy RAW image with the Exiv2 metadata engine.

But after few release, a lots of users vote to reactive this option. You will find it in current 6.3.0 stable release, or you can try the 6.4.0 pre release AppImage available here :
