Version: (using KDE 4.2.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Gentoo Packages I've got a 10k+ image collection and wanted to migrate it from f-spot to digikam. The picture tags are stored as XMP tags (dublin core, subject, default by f-spot). Digikam managed to import some tags, when I imported a subset of about 500 pictures. But when importing the rest it didn't work. I can see the tags in the Metada
sorry my browser made mess... continuing my description: I can see the tags in the Metadata/XMP site tab, but if I use the "Read metadata from file to database" it just recognizes sometimes this tags, but only if I set up a equally named tag beforehand. But with some pictures it doesn't work at all or only the first tag. If needed I can provide sample images.
yes, please give us file samples to test Gilles Caulier
Ok here are three pictures which I imported together with others from a folder. http://jaclar.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/dsc05372.jpg tag didn't got detected http://jaclar.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/dsc05373.jpg only one (diashow) of two (diashow,Cataratas) got detected http://jaclar.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/dsc05404.jpg both included tags (diashow,Cataratas) got detected I imported this folder twice because I wanted to make sure that this behaviour is reproducible. And yes, digikam showed in both cases the same behaviour. Another observation I made: I made a new tag by hand and after a restart of digikam some pictures got this tag. But not all of them. Thanks a lot for your help!
Marcel, I can reproduce this problem only in one situation. 1/ digiKam do not run. copy all files in collection and start digiKam. during scan at startup all is imported properly. 2/ digiKam run. copy all in collection : change detection performed by KDirWatch found new item by tags are not created properly. Question : this is not the same code for both cases ? Lars, can you confirm my investigations ? Gilles Caulier
Marcel, Are you see my comment #4 ? I think this problem will be solved when Startup scan code will be used with KDirWatch relevant code from digiKam. right ? Gilles
The scanning code in the end is the same for both situations (ImageScanner). I just tested adding the images with digikam running, by dragging from here into main view. My results: 5372: /Cataratas 5373: /Cataratas, /diashow 5404: /Cataratas, /diashow So I cannot reproduce any problem here.
Ok, i close this file as WORKFORME using digiKam 1.0.0-beta3 Gilles Caulier
