Description Knut Hildebrandt 2016-03-24 22:31:43 UTC
In the digikam4 series the contents of the EXIF caption field was automatically copied to the captions area when importing a picture. In digikam-5.0.0beta3 this is not done anymore even though in meta data editor synchronisation with JFIF comment section as well as XMP and IPTC caption are tagged.

Reproducible: Always

Yes the problem still persists. 

The entry in question is "Exif.Photo.UserComment". It is set automatically by the camera and used to be copied at import time to the caption area by digicam4.

Cheers

MAik,

Just a note about current AppImage bundle 5.4.0 for Linux : it include Exiv2 0.26-svn (pre-release). This is important to know for this entry. 

But, i suspect that problem can be located in Advanced Metadata configuration panel from Setup dialog (or in low level DMetadatSettingsContainer class) , as we can found more than one report in bugzilla about metadata management with comments and tags, since 5.0.0 release.

Problem ist not reproducible with the default settings from Advanced Metadata configuration panel. The "Exif.Photo.UserComment" is added as caption.

what is meant by default settings. I did not change the settings when upgrading from digikam 4.x to digikam 5.x. Which settings are in question? Only face recognition is not selected in the metadata section, since it used to cause problems and I don't use it anyway.

I send an image as attachment. This image was imported in digikam 5.3.0 using Exiv2 0.25 without Exif.Photo.UserComment being copied to caption.

Sorry, can't send the image as an attachment. It's a 16 Mbyte RAW-file. How shall I send it?
