Version: 0.10.0 (using KDE 4.2.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Maybe there is some logic that I have missed and this is a wish, not a bug, but I cannot figure out what is supposed to happen. I have lots of images that are not tagged with any GPS co-ordinates. However, I have already tagged them with "Places/<Country>/<City>" and similar tags, so I select them by those tags and them edit their co-ordinates using the available feature. I want to geolocate things a bit more accurately than just by city, so after editing all the co-ordinates to set a rough location, I often select a subset of the images filtered by the "Places/..." tag and edit their co-ordinates again. The problem I have is that I cannot for the life of me figure out where the initial co-ordinates in the "Edit Co-ordinates" dialog box are coming from. Sometimes it seems to be from the selected images, sometimes it is some else entirely. If I select a single image, it is usually OK, but if I select several images, even if these images already share the same co-ordinates, the initial co-ordinates seem to be some random location from some earlier image in my editing session (often on the far side of the planet). I would like if the initial co-ordinates could be determined as follows: Use the co-ordinates from the single selected image, or, if multiple images are selected, from the first image in the selection that has co-ordinates. If the none of the selected images have co-ordinates, use the co-ordinates set the previous time the Edit Co-ordinates dialog was shown. This allows me to locate more images in the same area as others I have just located, as that is how I often work. I do not see much benefit to showing me that the image is on the equator in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, but a reset button might be of some use. Can anyone explain what logic is current used? I cannot figure it out at all.

No. I case of multiple selection first item which have GPS info is used to propose a location. Gilles Caulier
There have been improvements in the handling of the last coordinates in kipi-plugins version 0.9. Could you test this version and see if your wish is solved? Michael
I tried this out in digiKam 1.0.0-rc1 with kipi-plugins 0.9.0 and it is much better. The new "Bookmarks" feature solves all of my problems and the initial coordinates are now the last coordinates used, which is also perfect. You can close this. Thank you.
Thanks for the report. Closed... Gilles Caulier
