Editing IPTC for Canon RAW files?

[Jay Dickon Glanville]

Hello all,

I'm currently reviewing DigiKam as a replacement for my current photo
management software.  One of the pieces of functionality that I'm used
to is the ability to add IPTC information to my Canon RAW files (CRW).
 I can't find equivalent functionality in DigiKam.

I believe I already know the answer to this question, but it's always
nice to get confirmation.  Is the reason why DigiKam doesn't support
IPTC editing of Canon RAW files because the library it depends on
(Exif2) doesn't support it yet?

Thanks

JDG

You are correct, exiv2 does not yet support writing to tif files (which are
encapsuled inside RAW files), but it is planned to be included.
