Hi Tobias,
If work is being done on better and complete metadata handling and
editing (and i really really hope so), please also consider an option to
copy and paste metadata to selected images (not applying history stack!
,only metadata). I do this now in Aftershot Pro, Lightroom has this
option too.
To give you an idea of my workflow which I hope to be able to do
entirely in DT someday :)
1. First select one image, fill in a complete but general metadata (like
my name phone number, e-mail, website (these are fixed during import),
city, location, person in image, country, title, description, job ID if
needed etc.), add tags, than copy past this to all images in the folder.
This way I can find them later, even if not editing and using them at
tuis moment.
2. Select, rate and edit the images that I'm going to use at this moment.
3. Walk through the selected and edited images and add appropriate
title, description and tags for each image.
4. Export.
Thanks!
Jack

This is the only reason I can't use DT full time. And then I have to
export the image to tiff and import it in Lightroom or Aftershot Pro to
add IPTC metadata. Some say DT is 'only' meant for photo editing, but in
real life, when one wants to use it for assignments, complete iptc
support (+extension) is necessary. Can't do without, my employers
require those fields.
Ah, so we have someone who actually uses IPTC and knows about that stuff.
Could you please send me a sample image with IPTC data in the form you
require? The actual image doesn't matter, it can be a 100x100 pixel crop and
just showing your ceiling or wallpaper.
Here is a page about it: https://redmine.darktable.org/issues/8698
Just wondering if there is any progress, or that it is considered as not
so important.
I consider it important, but given that I don't use IPTC I probably lack some
details in understanding what exactly is needed.
Tobias
