Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources OS: Linux Currently in digiKam user see in Metadata menu with 8 options: Edit IPTC Remove IPTC Import IPTC Edit EXIF Remove EXIF Import EXIF Edit Captions Remove Captions In near future there will be additional 3 entries about XMP. This is confusing and in many cases unnecessary. It would be great if in Metadata would be something like: Edit Remove Import Advanced > In first three entries user would got smart form which would try to synchronize entries in all systems of metadata. In Advanced sub-menu will be entries split into separate systems.
I like the idea here - having synchronised entry for the different metadata types. Obviously one problem will be that the different standards (IPTC/EXIF/XMP) support different field lengths, character types etc etc.... Presumably if you activated and used this feature, you would be restricted to the lowest common denominator?
