Description Peter Jakobs 2006-09-22 07:23:31 UTC
Version:           0.9.0-beta2 (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

metadata info is not written into raw image files even if the format (like Canon raw .cr2) does support both exif and iptc. This is pretty annoying as it basically means that digikam cannot be the first tool in the workflow (which would be download->tag(digikam)->raw convert->postprocess->publish). As the raw converter would keep any exif/iptc information, the tagging would be ok for the whole chain if it was written to the original raw file. Right now, I have to come back to the converted images and tag them again.
Comment 1 caulier.gilles 2006-09-22 07:48:29 UTC
This is currently a limitation on Exiv2 library, witch manage metadata workflow. Actually Exiv25 can only write on JPEG file. Normally, next release will support writting for PNG, and TIFF/RAW.

Temporary solution for storing iptc and exif in alternate file

provied patch (for 0.9.2-final) uses alternate jpg files to store iptc and exif
data when storing in original file is not supported. I wrote it because I need
to preserve this information for TIFF files but it can also be useful in
another case: like readonly filesystem, readonly image or even metadata
(keywords, comments rating) shared by more than one image. The location of
alternate image is defined in file named ".digikam.alt.txt" (or
"digikam.alt.txt") which is searched in album's directory and all directories
above: Here is sample content of this file:
-----------------
# comment
map .*[.]jpg 
map (.*)/([^/]+) .$1/$2.alt.jpg
break
next 
-----------------

# - comment line
map fromRegExp to - defines transformation of original path to path of
alternate file
map skipRegExp - matched files do not have alternate files
next - do to dir up ignoring rest of this file
break - stop searching

The rule is that first match wins.
When writing if alternate file is present it is used, if not present first
attempt is made to write to original file and if this fails to alternate

When reading if alternate file is present it is used otherwise original file is
read.

I know it should be implemented in kexiv2 and I'm going to do so (so that kipi
plugins can use this).
Comment 4 Piotr Tarnowski 2007-11-03 00:50:11 UTC
Mistake, should be:
map (.*)/([^/]+) $1/.$2.alt.jpg 

example: /2007/2007-01/x.tiff =>  /2007/2007-01/.x.tiff.alt.jpg
Comment 5 caulier.gilles 2007-11-03 09:00:09 UTC
Piotr,

You re-invent the sidecar file (:=)))...

This must be done using a standardized way : XMP.

Why ? To support interoperability between others photomanagement program.

Read the XMP spec page 36 :

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/xmp/pdfs/xmp_specification.pdf

digiKam 0.10.0 (KDE4 support XMP). Only this way must be used.

Note : be patient. Exiv2 tiff write support will be the next major feature implemented (after Exiv2 0.16 release planed in december 2007)

Comment 7 caulier.gilles 2008-08-19 10:21:14 UTC
Hi all,

I have good news about this report. Current svn implementation of Exiv2 (next
0.18 release) start to support writting mode to RAW file based on TIFF/EP
format.

The first RAW file supported are DNG (Adobe), NEF (Nikon) and PEF (Pentax).

Others will come later of course, but we need help with Exiv2 project to
improve it (tests, reports, etc...)

I CC below the Andreas Huggel message from Exiv2 mailing list for details:

// ----------------------------------------------------------------

After some more tweaking, exiv2 can by now successfully write to
standard TIFF, TIFF/EP, DNG, NEF and PEF images. SR2 works almost
(parts of the makernote are lost) while writing to ARW images will
still corrupt the picture.

"Writing to the image successfully" means that after modifying or
adding any metadata, incl IPTC and XMP, the image structure as
reported by exifprobe is intact and it is possible to view the image
using ufraw or digiKam without any new errors or warnings.

However, I have no proprietary RAW viewer software to test with and
only a very limited number of sample images for these TIFF-like RAW
formats.

So please go ahead and do your own tests and report your successes and
problems here.

Andreas

Thanks in advance for your help

There is a screenshot of XMP metadata editing into a NEF file in flickr digiKam group:

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3177/2783702020_12ff045dbf_o.png

So for me I close this entry now. All is ready from digiKam, kipi-plugins, and libkexiv2 to be able to play with RAW metadata. This include KDE3 and KDE4 versions.

Note than all future improvements will come from Exiv2 library, especially to support others RAW formats in writting mode.

Note that if you have a RAW camera which is not yet supported by Exiv2 in writting mode, unforget that digiKam host metadata into a database and that you can sync RAW file metadata later in batch using "Tools/Update Metadata Database" menu entry, with a future improved Exiv2.

Git commit 2ef074a3f5c239bf4674c4cdda5bf99f511d8ae0 by Gilles Caulier.
Committed on 09/05/2021 at 13:04.
Pushed by cgilles into branch 'master'.

ExifTool support: add new method to apply list of changes operated on metadata.
A temporary EXV file constainer is computed with the list of changes to operated on Exif, Iptc, and Xmp.
This EXV file is processed with ExifTool to patch metadata.
Add new CLI test tool to try apply changes with EXV constainer. Here the file is patched with DMetadata::setImageDateTime()
which change or add new tags in Exif, Iptc, and Xmp

Exemple of changes processed to a CR3 raw image:

Git commit 3a672f38cda7738356f19707a6a634ca91c269e6 by Gilles Caulier.

Write metadata with ExifTool backend if Exiv2 fails to process, for exemple with RAW files or Video files.
Tested successfuly with a MP4 video to insert a comment.
For RAW and other king of files as MPO or JPEG with more than 64kB of Exif segement, Exiv2 must be bannned to uses in cases of writting operations as files can be corrupted.
This require more regression tests to validate ExifTool uses in place of Exiv2.

Use only ExifTool backend to write metadata to RAW files, as Exiv2 is fully unsafe with these kind of operations.
Reading and Writing metadata to video files is now delegate to ExifTool Backend too.
