Description ras_elased_borealis 2013-05-11 10:29:22 UTC 
When clicking on "Apply" after geotagging CR2 raw images (or DNG) using the menu Image > Geolocation an error window pops up reading "Unable to save some informations" (original: "Impossible d'enregistrer certaines informations") and listing the files : "path/to/file.cr2 : unable to save the changes in a file" (original: "/chemin/vers/fichier.cr2: Impossible d'enregistrer les changements dans un fichier").

It works for JPEG and NEF (Nikon raw) files though.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select CR2 or DNG files
2. Menu Image > geotag
3. Place images on map
4. Apply
An error window pops up
Actual Results:  
Error window

Expected Results:  
Geotagged image files

Using Digikam 2.8.0 from repository on Linux Mint 14 (= Ubuntu 12.10).

Same with digikam 3.5.

It isn't possible to tag raw files from Canon reflex cameras (cr2)

This error messages come from Exiv2 shared library certainly.

RAW are read only image. Metadat writing still experimental into Exiv2. It's recommend to use XMP sidecar with RAW files.
