Version: 0.9.0-svn / 2006-08-22 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Compiler: gcc version 4.0.2 64bit OS: Linux I noticed some inconsitencies about the IPTC data added to images when they are changed: Assinging a tag or rating through the "Comments / Tags" tab results in the following list of IPTC records: ------------------------------------------------------------ Complete list: File name: 2006-08-11__08-42-22_0016.JPG (IPTC Records) >>> IIM Application 2 <<< Byline : Heiner Lamprecht BylineTitle : Caption : (c) Heiner Lamprecht Copyright : (c) Heiner Lamprecht.

Assinging a rating or tag throught the context menu results in the following list: ------------------------------------------------------------ File name: 2006-08-11__08-48-11_0020.JPG (IPTC Records) >>> IIM Application 2 <<< Program : digiKam ProgramVersion : 0.9.0-beta1 Urgency : 5 ------------------------------------------------------------ (Or keywords instead of urgency) BTW: Why is copyright information saved as caption (see first example)?
1/ IPTC caption == digiKam comments 2/ IPTC Urgency is typically the right way to rate an image. This way is used by others image management software (like Mapivi for example : http://mapivi.sourceforge.net/features.shtml) 3/ IPTC keywords are used to store digiKam tags (please take a care of ASCII limitation of IPTC). 4/ Assign a tag by drag & drop do not change IPTC metadata : it a bug (:=)) Gilles Caulier
ad1: Okay, your're right. I forgot, that the camera writes the text as the comment. ad2: Okay, too. But why is the urgency set to 8 when only assining a tag? And why are the other records not written, when assining a rating or tag through the context menu? Heiner
ad2 : because of IPTC spec : http://www.iptc.org/std/IIM/4.1/specification/IIMV4.1.pdf Look page 27. No rating = 8 in your case. Gilles
Take a loop at #127583, comment 5. Is this the same problem/inconsistency?
Looks pretty much like the same problem.
ok I mark this file like dupplicate of #127583 Gilles *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 127583 ***
Fixed with #127583
