Created attachment 179529 [details] 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.
Created attachment 179530 [details] 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. Maik
Created attachment 179597 [details] 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. Maik
Created attachment 179958 [details] attachment-3372265-0.html Bonjour Maik, Je n'arrive toujours pas à ajouter "automatiquement" les tags GPS dans le catalogue Digikam comme cela semble être le cas pour vous. J'ai essayé plusieurs options dans le fichier de configuration et j'ai aussi installé la version 8.6, le tout sans succès. J'aimerai beaucoup que vous puissiez m'aider à résoudre ce problème que je trouve très handicapant pour mon utilisation de Digikam. Peut-être mon paramétrage ou la suite d'opération effectuée (refresh on each test) n'est pas correcte ? De quelles informations avez-vous besoin pour comprendre mon problème ? Comment proposez-vous de procéder pour réparer ce dysfonctionnement ? If you prefer, even if my english is very poor, I can write my messages in english. Many thanks in advance for you help Maik *Jean - Louis Joli* Le jeu. 20 mars 2025 à 13:59, Maik Qualmann <bugzilla_noreply@kde.org> a écrit : > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=501679 > > --- Comment #4 from Maik Qualmann <metzpinguin@gmail.com> --- > I can't reproduce any problem with your image.

Hi, The 8.7.0 pre-release Windows installer from today have been rebuilt from scratch with Qt 6.8.3, KDE 6.12, OpenCV 4.11 + CUDA support, Exiv2 0.28.5, ExifTool 13.27, ffmpeg 7, all image codecs updated to last version (jxl, avif, heif, aom, etc.). Please try with this version to see if your problem still reproducible... https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Thanks in advance Best regards Gilles Caulier
Created attachment 180375 [details] A2500408.xmp Hello Gilles, I dislike to install pre-release except if in the "New Features and Major Changes" something is related with my concern. I do prefer to work with you on stable version and to understand clearly the reason why Maik Qualmann is not able to reproduce my issue. So you can find attached in this mail 1. The XMP file (sidecar file) which contents the GPS data that I cannot retrieve in the Digikam Catalog 2. Some screenshots from my configuration file (customizing) My process is the following 1. Creation of the XMP file with the application GoeSetter. This application is very useful as from GPS data, you can retrieve data as elevation, country, Province state, city and sub location 2. I start Digikam and I perform a refresh / reread metadata from the newest directory / files without success. The "extra GPS data" (country, Province state, city and sub location) remain unknown in the catalogue ! Fell free to ask me more information which will be useful to understand the issue.

Created attachment 181461 [details] attachment-162550-0.html Hello Maik and Gilles, 1 month after my reply, I do not have any answer from Digikam and so, I am still facing the issue. I would like to know if the my side car file, the GPS data as country, Province state, city and sub location can be included in the Digikam catalog ? If not, is that a way by updating the "Configuration Digikam" to solve my issue ? Which information can I send to in order to help you for understanding the issue ?

Created attachment 181469 [details] Import from Geosetter Screenshot Here is your sample image from comment 3. The screenshot shows that the GPS position and tags from Geosetter are present. Maik
Created attachment 181488 [details] image.png Hello Maik, I believe there is a miss-understanding from the beginning. I agree with you that the GPS data setup by Geosetter are read by Digikam. My concern is those GPS data are not seen as *Digikam catalog entries*. What I would like to know, if they is a way that the GPS data setup by Geosetter as country, Province state, city and sub location can be seen as Digikam catalog entries ? [image: image.png] For time being, I have to create manually those entries in the Digikam catalog while they exist in the XMP file. Is that on my side, wrong setup in "Settings > Configure Digikam" or on your side Digikam catalog programs are not designed for working that way and then I have to create the catalog entries manually as I do for time being ?

Well, Geosetter only saves the individual geotags, without a path. The tags do appear in the digiKam tag view, but not as State->City->Street as you want. How should digiKam assign that? Geosetter would have to save it as a hierarchy. Unfortunately, Geosetter doesn't create IPTC location tags, which would make assignment possible. digiKam would have to "know" that, for example, France is a state, Paris a city, and so on. That would be another thing for an AI. Maik
Created attachment 181596 [details] attachment-1858844-0.html Hi Maik, Thank for your quick answer. Following your reply, I understand that I cannot get directly the "hierarchy" State -> City -> Street and so on. But is that a way to setup "Settings > Configure Digikam" in order to get the "individual geotag saved by Geosetter" as single entries in the Digikam catalog ? Then, everyone can manually arrange those individual tags following the hierarchy they choose / prefer. That design can be used by many people as a possibility to manage different parameters by adding them in the IPTC part. And a last question, which parameter should Geosetter to setup in order Digikam will be able to use them as Digikam Catalog entries ? As single entry or as a hierarchy.
