Description Rahul 2023-07-07 09:43:46 UTC
I am trying to add Geo Cordinates like Lattitude, Lognitude 

They are showing added in Digicam but when I am checking Exif details in other tools like https://tool.geoimgr.com/

Co ordinates are not showing.

Writing geolocation information to the Exif metadata must be enabled in the digiKam settings under Metadata.

I did enabled the option in Behavior Settings
of  geolocation information (GPS)

and tried to add co ordinates, when I clicked on Apply button on top, it said nothing

When I clicked apply button at bottom, it said,

Failed to Open file, and I couldn't save

Strange, I see that the image has a thumbnail. So it must have been read before. Currently it cannot be opened to read metadata and a preview cannot be loaded either.
The image is still in the directory? Can a preview still be opened in digiKam? Is drive D: an external hard drive?

Comment 5 Rahul 2023-07-07 11:12:11 UTC
ops, the image location I changed and forgot to refresh in digiKam

I am really really sorry for taking your time in these cross questioning, 

Thank you, it worked, Geo Co ordinates are being added succesfully
Comment 6 Rahul 2023-07-07 11:27:24 UTC
Do you know how to add 
Same Metadata to multiple photos in one go.

Meaning

I want to bulk add EXIF Name, Description to 30-40 images, 

I know Metadata editor tool in Tools option , but this is not adding to all images in one click, it is individually adding to one image at one time
Comment 7 Maik Qualmann 2023-07-07 11:38:05 UTC
What is the EXIF name? To add the title and description, the captions tab is used in the right sidebar. Select the images, enter the title and description and press apply.

Wanted to add this EXIF Name in bulk
Comment 9 Maik Qualmann 2023-07-07 20:59:36 UTC
The Exif.Image.DocumentName cannot currently be assigned in batch. However, it is actually not logical to assign the same Exif.Image.DocumentName to several files. You need to explain that in more detail before we implement it.

I'm closing here as the actual bug is fixed, but you can keep replying here.
