[Bug 233879] New: Templates for XMP and IPTC not working

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233879

           Summary: Templates for XMP and IPTC not working
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           1.1 (using KDE 4.4.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Under Settings - configure digiKam - Templates you can enter templates which
are supposed to fill the XMP and IPTC tags (see the note at the bottom of the
template dialog).

But actually there is no way to have that values copied into the XMP and IPTC
tags. In the side menu under Caption/Tags, Information Tab, there is a selector
to copy a template into these fields, but these values are kept in the digikam
database. There is no way to have them filled into XMP or IPTC tags.

Maybe some bottons/selectors forgotten in the user interface?

Have you checked the relevant option the Metadata page in setup?

Can you be more precise about which options are "relevant"?

The options page for entering templates says that the templates are supposed to
fill IPTC and XMP. It is not obvious that any of these options have to be
checked for these templates to work.

"Save metadata templates as metadata embedded in files"

Wording has room for improvement but it talks about templates.

That option does not even exist under digikam 1.0 (Ubuntu 9.10), at least not
under that name.

It exists under digikam 1.1 (Ubuntu 10.04 beta), and yes, it then copies the
template to IPTC and XMP. :-)

What exactly is the use of templates if the need to be enabled separately and
are not? Isn't that option redundant?

Should the Captions copied as well to any of the IPTC/XMP entries?

Update to last stable digiKam 1.2.0, check the right option at the
right place, and... try again...

Maybe I dont want to write to my pictures at all, only to the database? For
each action really writing to the picture, we have a corresponding option to
enable or disable it. (For my part, I have most of them disabled currently for
example)
