            Bug ID: 424058
           Summary: Cannot copy metadata such as GPS co-ordinates
           Product: digikam
           Version: 6.4.0
          Platform: MS Windows
                OS: Microsoft Windows

          Keywords: usability
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Metadata-Gps
          Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: mi...@haseler.net
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY When highlighting EXIF items (e.g. GPS Latitude) the edit menu says
that control C will copy the information, but nothing happens.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click on image, bring up metadata.
2. Click on metadata to copy
3. press control C (or use menu),

OBSERVED RESULT

 try to paste into Notepad and there is nothing


EXPECTED RESULT

That the relavent metadata text (as shown) is copied and available to paste

macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma:

KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version: 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I have two cameras, one with GPS co-ordinates captured in the metadata and
another without. I am trying to update the images that do not have GPS
co-ordinates to match those that do.

The ideal, would be a "feature" to "copy co-ordinates" as a matched pair of
lat, long (ideally in decimal format as no one can find degrees symbols). I
would then like to update a selection of images to have these co-ordinates,
ideally with a "paste" of the co-ordinate pair. However, even if latitude and
longitude could be copied from one image to another it would vastly help.

Another approach I tried was to set the location on one image and then to
select a number and use the map location to fix the images. Unfortunately,
having got one image with a pin, if I try to drag a (+) pin to the same
location and then click to add, it then says "do I want to delete" the
original, rather than adding the others.

Also, IT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL to be able to open up the map at a specific
Lat, Long (or even search by place as per Picasa). Instead, to copy the exact
location from one image to another using the map, I'm having to 1) use picasa
on one photo and digkam on the other so I have two maps. Then use the aerial
photo on picas and compare it with that on digikam, and then zoom in, and
compare again and centre both maps, and then zoom in, etc until I eventually
get to the same spot on both images. Fortunately, picasa and digikam use the
same aerial map, otherwise I would often get completely lost.
