SUMMARY When exporting to flickr, the location is partly lost (i.e. flickr shows a "Add ths photo to your map" link) and/or replaced. If I show the exif, this includes the following; Country- Primary Location Code - ABW Country- Primary Location Name - Aruba A tag is generated for "Aruba". STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add geoloc data and tags to a picture in DK 1. Export the picture to flickr 2. Look at the flickr page 3. Show the exif OBSERVED RESULT flickr shows a "Add ths photo to your map" link and the exif includes two lines as follows; Country- Primary Location Code - ABW Country- Primary Location Name - Aruba An extra tag appears "Aruba" and sometimes, some tags added by DK are lost. EXPECTED RESULT The location added to the picture in DK appears in flickr. The location is correctly visible in the exif. All the tags added in DK are present and either 1) no others are present or 2) any extra ones correctly reflect the geoloc added to the picture in DK.

Can you reproduce the dysfunction using last 6.2.0 pre-release AppImage bundle ? https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Gilles Caulier
If you upload an image via the web interface of Flickr no geolocation information is displayed. It looks as if Flickr does not (more?) scan the images. If you enable the "Use Host Application Tags" option on the Flickr tool, everything will work as expected. Maik
According to flickr, the exif still includes references to Aruba. Country- Primary Location Code - ABW Country- Primary Location Name - Aruba Country - Aruba And flickr still adds a tag for Aruba on top of the ones I put there.
Can you provide a test image? I can not reproduce it here, the Flickr tool does not add or change these IPTC country codes. This information will already be in your image. Maik
You upload the images via the option "Upload Original Image". If the image size is changed, we remove the IPTC tags because Flickr scans them. In this case, you yourself have to remove the IPTC tags from the images. The "Upload Original Image" option means no change to the image. Maik
The wish to remove certain tags from the images already exists: Bug 351366 You have the possibility: 1. Remove the IPTC metadata with the BQM 2. Correct the IPTC metadata with the Metadata Editor 3. Do not use the "Upload Original Image" option and upload a JPG image to Flickr where the IPTC data will be automatically removed Maik

It seems there is a problem earlier in the workflow - something sets the location to Aruba before it's uploaded to flickr. Flickr then generates a bogus tag based on this location. To be clear, the bogus tag is not explicitly in the IPTV metadata, it's generated by flickr from the (wrong) location. I will investigate further. Do you prefer I open a new bug if it turns out that DK is doing something strange?
Also exiftool finds the tags: Country-Primary Location Name : Aruba Country-Primary Location Code : ABW Maik
(In reply to Maik Qualmann from comment #9) > Also exiftool finds the tags: > > Country-Primary Location Name : Aruba > Country-Primary Location Code : ABW > > Maik I can confirm that DK is somehow adding these references to Aruba at one point in my BQM workflow. I will go through that workflow tool by tool and report back on which tool in DK is adding this. Do you prefer me to 1) continue in this bug, 2) open a new bug against the correct component when I've found it or 3) change the product & component of this bug?
Open a new bug if you have found the tool that should set this metadata unnecessarily. I suspect that you will apply a template containing this metadata. Maik
You were right. Somehow the metadata template I was using had got Aruba set in it rather than unknown. When I changed that to unknown, the bogus extra tag went away and Flickr picked up on the geolocation data I'd added in DK.
