Description Randall Rude 2025-12-05 17:46:43 UTC

SUMMARY
Export ignores some metadata.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
* start a fresh copy of the demo
* export everything to a .kim file (I chose to include the images in the ,kim file)
* close the demo
* create an empty directory foo and start kphotoalbum with --db foo/
* import the .kim file from step 2 (I just clicked Next for all steps)
* save the db and exit kphotoalbum
* compare demo/index.xml to foo/index.xml

OBSERVED RESULT
Annotation areas from demo/index.xml are not in foo/index.xml.
The endDates from demo/index.xml are not in foo/index.xml.

EXPECTED RESULT
The annotation areas and endDates should be present in foo/index.xml
