Version: 2.0.0 (using KDE 4.7.0) OS: Linux I have choosen to: 'Save image tags as "Keywords" in metadata embedded in files' 'Write to sidecar only' If I have added some tags to an image, the xmp-file has been created and updated with the tags. If I now open up Geo-location and add coordinates to the image and click apply, the xmp-file has been updated to contain only the coordinates. If I now for the image choose to "Write Metadata to Image", then the tags are put back but the coordinates has been removed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See details! Expected Results: Geo-location and other metadata should coexist in the xmp sidecar file.
Any proggress on this issue?
With all recent sidecar fixes in digikam and our libraries, this problem seems no longer reproducible.
Created attachment 70097 [details] xmp sidecar with geo location metadata.
Created attachment 70098 [details] xmp sidecar with tags added as metadata
I have now tested with 2.6.0 beta 3 and can still trigger this bug. If I localize an image the xmp sidecar is updated with gps coordinates and all other metadata is wiped from the file. If I then do write metadata to file the other metadata is written to the file and the gps coordinates is wiped from the file. In my case I have choosen to write tags to the file. Added two xmp files, one with gps coordinates and one with the tags metadata added.
Don't know what status to set it to. It's not fiexed here anyway...
What is your libkexiv2 version?
2.1.0. I built everything in beta3 from the root. Now I see that the version in beta3 seems to be 2.3.0. Must have done something wrong. I have installed beta3 in parallel with 2.5.0 so this build must have picked up the old version.
I have now tested with digiKam 2.6.0 and libkexiv2 2.3.0. Still no luck with this. If I geo-locate the xmp is overwritten. If I then add/remove some tags the xmp-file is overwritten again. I have built myself on kde 4.8.4. What else should I do?
not fixed here, with digikam 3.5.0. Cf. bugs #256179, #280058?
Hi, as with bug #280058, I can reproduce this one when I set "Write to sidecar only" but not "Read from sidecar files". Enabling "Read from sidecar files" solves the issue for me. I will add a warning to GPSSync about this problem, and I think we should put the warning also into the settings dialog of digikam. Can somebody who is also seeing this problem confirm this? Best regards, Michael
