Settings for saving metadata

So far, I saved metadata into images'exif data. 
But it seems not to work anymore 
(However GPS coordinates are correctly saved using Geo-location tool).

Example 
I write "Cat on the table" in the "Title" field.
To be sure the title is writen in the image, I click on "Image->Write metadata to Image"
If I run "exiftool image.jpg -Title", nothing is printed (although a few days before, it worked)

I tried to apply the same workflow in Fedora and I have the same results.

Rolling back to digikam 3.5.0 solves the problem.

What's about to try digiKam 4.1.0 to see if error have been introduced to 4.2.0 ?

Note : this is not reproducible here...

Q: which kind of information did you expect to found in metadata ?

Example of what I expect in metadata

Here is an example of data entered in digikam and what should be found using exiftools and exiv2
Comment 4 Romain Henriet 2014-08-24 19:04:50 UTC
I built digikam 4.1.0 and 4.2.0 from sources, downloaded from digikam's website.

In digikam 4.1.0, metadata are written to image as expected. but not in 4.2.0.
Comment 5 caulier.gilles 2014-08-24 20:57:16 UTC
Well, here with current implementation from git/master both XMP and EXIF store title and comment as expected...

Can you checkout code from git/master and try with this version of digiKam (next 4.3.0) ?

Comment 7 Romain Henriet 2014-08-25 17:22:01 UTC
The problem is in 4.3.0 too.
Comment 8 Romain Henriet 2014-08-26 18:49:05 UTC
Writing capton and title to image only works if "Image tags" is checked in the "Behavior" tab !

Veaceslav,

Perhaps this dysfunction have been introduced recently in MetadataHub ?
