Digikam snapshot

Hello,
I use Geosetter software to set GPS data in my photos. Thoss data are recognized because the logo appears on each photo. Attached to this request is an extract of the photos' Exif data and a snapshot of the photo in Digikam.
However, the GPS data is not included in the catalog. I tried refreshing it, but without success.
Before Digikam version 8, this feature worked correctly. Country name / Province state / City / Sub location data was included in the Catalog as tags.
Is this a bug, or do I need to use command(s) and / or option(s)  in the configuration for the GPS data to be included in the catalog ?
Thank you for your help in resolving this issue.

Extraction Exif

Bonjour,

J'utilise le logiciel Geosetter afin de positionner les données GPS dans me photos. C'est données sont reconnues car le logo apparait sur chaque photo. En pièce jointe à cette demande, une extraction des données Exif des photos et un snapshot de l'écran Digikam.

Cependant, les données GPS ne sont pas prises en compte par le catalogue. J'ai essayé de faire des "refresh" mais sans résultat.

Avant la version 8 de Digikam, cette fonctionnalité fonctionnait correctement. Données "Country name" / "Province state" / "City" / "Sub location" étaient des entrées du catalogue.

Est-ce un bug ou faut-il faire de nouvelle(s) commande(s) et / ou spécifier des options dans la configuration pour que les données GPS soient prises en charge par le catalogue ?

Merci pour votre aide afin de résoudre ce dysfonctionnement.

A sample image would be good. If digiKam displays the earth icon in the thumbnail, the GPS data is in the database.

Your location tags are located in the location IPTC/XMP metadata; digiKam has never adopted these as tags.

It is possible to adopt this location information as tags using reverse geolocation in the digiKam Geolocation Editor. This is still possible, but must be enabled under the reverse geolocation options.

Example of picture with GPS data added by Geosetter software

Bonjour Maik
Merci pour votre réponse rapide et claire.
Dans quelle partie des Exif les données GPS doivent-elles être enregistrées afin de les retrouver automatiquement / directement dans le catalogue Digikam ?
Vous avez écrit "It is possible to adopt this location information as tags using reverse geolocation in the digiKam Geolocation Editor. This is still possible, but must be enabled under the reverse geolocation options." Merci de m'aider à activer cette option que je n'ai pas trouvée.

Vous trouverez en pièce jointe un exemple de photo dont les données GPS ont été positionné par l'application Geosetter.

I can't reproduce any problem with your image. The GPS coordinates are there, as are the tags.
Geosetter saves the tags in the EXIF ​​Windows XP Keywords metadata. The tags in the image are: "Bretagne;France;Bateau;Mer;Intra Muros"

This should work for you as well. Perhaps the images were opened in another program, in which case the metadata might not be read. Run the function for the image in the Menu under Items -> Re-read Metadata from Image to Database.
