[Bug 173120] New: Wish: exif and iptc metadata copy and paste between images

[gerlos]

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=173120

           Summary: Wish: exif and iptc metadata copy and paste between
                    images
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.9.3
          Platform: Mandriva RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           0.9.3 (using KDE 3.5.9)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

It would be really useful if we could copy and paste exif and iptc metadata
from an image to another.
It could be made using 2 buttons somewhere in the interface, or adding these
commands to the right click menu.

It wuold bo even better if you could select which tags you want to copy, for
example suppose I have a manual lens and I want to copy only lens focal lenght
from an old image to one or more new images. Or to copy tags (iptc keywords).

This is already somewhat possible using Image -> Metadata -> Import (EXIF /
IPTC etc.). Is this a solution for your wish?

Johannes,

I think that copy and paste is more suitable than to use plugin menu option.
It's too long.

Performing metadata import from a file to another one is easy todo with
DMetadata. Also, as icon view is now ported to Qt4, it's right time to add this
feature in GUI.

IPTC and XMP is not a problem with al image format supported by Exiv2 in
background.

You must to take a care with Exif, which can break image structure with TIFF
file format based, as DNG, NEF, and other RAW image.

So, take a care about metadata settings from config panel.

Gilles

Hi,

I think this type of wish is very important. One of the major issues of digikam
is, in my oppinion, workflow "flow" problems. It is very impractical to not be
able to handle metadata properly. The current tree view of tags is, frankly,
unusable once you have a few hundred different tags in your library!

Not being able to copy and paste metadata / tags between files in a simple and
easy manner is counter productive to a correct photography workflow and should
be addressed.

Not for me.  I need the control-c control-v type access to copying all the
metadata.  It's a time-consuming pain having to leave Digikam and use a
separate command-line tool to copy the metadata from one file to another and
then do a "read metadata from file to database".  And, the command-line
approach does not work for some file types such as Canon raw (.cr2).
