[Bug 301484] New: synchronize metadata with files produced from external raw converter.

[Danni Coy]

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=301484

            Bug ID: 301484
          Severity: wishlist
           Version: 2.6.0
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: [hidden email]
           Summary: synchronize metadata with files produced from external
                    raw converter.
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: [hidden email]
          Hardware: Compiled Sources
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: Import
           Product: digikam

I would like if there was an option to match any image being added to the
collection to a raw file with the same name (sans extension) and same timestamp
and copy additional metadata (tags,rating,comments etc) to that image from the
raw image.

I am currently using a camera which the raw files are not supported by digikam
and it would cut down on a lot of work not having to copy this metadata
manually


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. tag a raw file with tags and rating
2. use external raw converter (in my case Sigma Photo Pro) to produce a jpg or
tiff file in a folder that digikam watches.
3. wait for image to show up in digikam
Actual Results:  
digikam treats the image as a new image any metadata needs to be manually
copied from the original raw file.

Expected Results:  
digikam smartly checks to see if there is a raw file with the same name that
was taken at the same time and copies that metadata to the new image.

Hi Everyone,

I am using openSUSE 12.1 KDE. I downloaded the source from the git and cmake statement is failing due to some cause.

Can anyone please figure it out what may be lacking or which dependency needs to be installed ?

The cmake compilation errors have been reported in the following link.

Abhinav,

Use "-DDIGIKAMSC_USE_PRIVATE_KDEGRAPHICS=on" cmake option and all will be
fine...

Dany,

There is no mechanism to check when a RAW file is processed outside digiKam and
to apply back properties to demosaiced image.

If you use digiKam image editor to process RAW, no problem.

The only solution is to ask to 3rd party raw processing software team to
register a public tag in XMP metadata to indicate which original file have been
used.

This is not a simple task which is out of focus of digiKam team.

What about a very simple case where the converted file is in the same folder
and has the same name as the raw file and has the same name as that file except
for the extension?

alternatively would it be possible to write something into the batch processing
infrastructure to allow my use case, copy metadata from all files with a given
extension in a folder to files with the same name but different extension in
the same folder and possibly group the images.
