Version: (using KDE 4.2.4) OS: Linux This is not really a bug in the digiKam-software. On the IPTC-Website (iptc.org) is »a list of software which claims to be compatible with IPTC Photo Metadata standards« called »Software supporting IPTC photo metadata standards IIM and "IPTC Core"«: http://www.iptc.org/cms/site/photometadatasupportlist.html I think DigiKam should be listed there, too!
It's not a digiKam bug. We don't manage IPTC web site. We cannot do anything for that. Please contact IPTC team and ask to change informations on website... Gilles Caulier
