Editiing metadata not possible

Bugzilla from cmaessen@casco.demon.nl
Today I noticed that it is not possible to edit metadata with
Image>Metadata>Edit EXIF or >Edit IPTC. The resulting dialog doesn't let me
change anything. The caption of the dialog also states (read only).

digikam 0.9.5-svn
kexiv2 0.1.8 (from svn)
exiv2 library 0.18-pre1 (from svn)
kdcraw 0.1.5 (from svn)
dcraw library 8.87
png library 1.2.18

Editing the caption in the metadata-sidebar, works as it should, as does
changing tags, which changes the IPTC-keywords. So what's needed to be able
to use metadata-editing through the menu.

Thanks.

Caspar.

It appeared to me just now, that the above mentioned behavior, only applies to
jpg's. The menu-options work like a charm on nef's (14bits from a Nikon D300)
and tiff's (16 bits converted with BibblePro).

I searched the mailinglist for this phenomenon. I only found that nefs weren't
writable. The weird thing now is that it has turned the other way around.
Nefs are, but jpegs aren't writeable. Has somebody else experienced this as
wel, and what is the solution?

I am sorry. Tried, but the wizzard of the bug tracking system ends with an
error while searching.

I assume the earlier mail will do.
