Description Jean Paul Eby 2024-07-12 08:17:30 UTC
Hi,

Many RAW photos geocoded from external software, and not when taken by photo equipment, have GPS coordinates in an XML file.

In addition, this XML file can be polluted by adjustment or cropping parameters proprietary to software, Lightroom or other.

In photo archiving the systematic presence of XML significantly reduces the capacity of hard drives and could be deleted but the geocoding is lost if RAW is taken out of Digikam

+=+=+=+

Importing into Digikam supports these coordinates in your database when they exist.

Writing GPS data to the RAW is possible via:

- "Item" > "Edit Geolocation" but requests a deletion then copies the coordinates and altitudes to write its data in the RAW

- "Item > "Write Metadata to File" after selecting all RAW.

Could you not offer in the "Edotor Geolocation" screen or in the "Item" menu a "Write Geolocation" from the XMP or information from the database in the RAW list ?

Thank you in advance for your arbitration.

Best regard
