SUMMARY Process reverse geocoding writes locations metadata even if 'Write locations metadata" is unset.
No, just tested, no location metadata is written. Maik
Idem. here... I test with current 8.3.0 and it's not reproducible unde Kubuntu 23.04
Sorry but I can reproduce it with 8.2.
In 8.3.0, we have more than 200 files closed as fixed. I strongly advice you to double check with the pre-release bundle : https://files.kde.org/digikam/

I would like ;-) I hope I am not opening too many bugs already fixed in 8.3. Of course, I would prefer test 8.3 instead of 8.2.
(In reply to caulier.gilles from comment #5) > List a 8.3.0 files closed : > > https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/blob/master/NEWS?ref_type=heads Ok, thanks. I will check that before opening new reports.
> In 8.3.0, we have more than 200 files closed as fixed. I strongly advice you to double check with the pre-release bundle I did not find any file closed related to reverse geocoding and this report. So I attached a picture which I am able to reproduce the problem (with 8.2). (I made exiftool -xmp:all= p.jpg in order to remove all xmp metadata) 1) I select this file, I do reverse geocoding with 'Write locations metadata" is unset (and also "Write locations tags" unset). 2) Apply 3) locations metadata is added
The file is too large to be attached here. You can download it here : https://transfert.free.fr/lx1mQcL (only during the next 30 days)
I tried with another file from the same device (pixel 5) and I cannot reproduce the problem (???).
There is definitely no location metadata added. Just removing XMP is not enough, check whether there are any in IPTC, these will be mirrored in XMP if sidecars are in the game. Maik
Also keep in mind that location metadata can still be in the DB, check the template viewer in the right sidebar. Even if you don't write any in the Geolocation Editor, the ones saved in the template can be written again. Maik
Indeed there were IPTC metadata locations and removing them don't add anymore XMP metadata locations. But why these IPTC metadata are added to XMP (really added in the file, not just mirrored in the viewer) ? Moreover when geo metadatas flags are unset ? > if sidecars are in the game. There are not sidecars in the game.
You can only choose not to change/add anything in the geolocation editor. If there are any in the DB, they are written as part of the template. In the template we write both IPTC and XMP. There is currently no advanced metadata setting to adjust the behavior of template metadata. Maik
Ok, I understand what append, now. As a tester, I use sometimes exiftool in the middle and that could reveal some points about digikam which are not a real problem for the normal user. Thanks for the explanation.
