Bug ID: 435414
Summary: Enhancement of "Edit Metadata..."
Product: digikam
Version: 7.2.0
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Plugin-Generic-WishForNewTools
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: her...@web.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Selecting an image e.g. in Albums-view and opening the Edit metadata dialog via
menu inside this dialog all existing values are checked (the corresponding
checkboxes are checked).
In case of an *.jpg image out of camera many technical Exif-values are checked.
In case of I want only to modify some XMP metadata I have to enter my values
and to press Apply.
But now all existing Exif metadata are re-written.
In case I do not want that the existing Exif-metadata are re-written I have to
uncheck all checkboxes for Exif-tags.
It would be much easier to have
- 3 checkboxes near Apply-button that say: Write Exif/IPTC/XMP
Another possible solution would be 3 checkboxes to uncheck/clear all xxx-tags
I ask for this enhancement because in case of re-writing the Exif-tags
Exiv2 stores many of the values as 4-byte value.
Because the Exif-standard requests 2-byte values, Exiftool displays warnings
for them, which I want to avoid.
Thanks in advance and
Best regards
herb
