How to make a search on the IPTC keywords ?

[Ryfe]

Hi everybody,

I use Digikam 0.9 on kubuntu.
I migrated from Adobe Photoshop Elements on windows and I gave all my
pictures (about 8000) IPTC keywords corresponding to Photoshop Elements
tags. That worked.

Now I have imported all my pictures in Digikam, i make a search (or an
advanced search) on the IPTC keywords but that doesn't work!
How come?

I need the search fonction to work as I don't feel to tag again 8000
pictures.

If I'm not clear enough, just tell me...

Thanks

Ryfe

Ryfe,

IPTC search is not yet implementated. We need to add new tables in digiKam
database for that. We will working on this subject in the future. Actually,
only a working draft is done (not yet complete).

There are some wishes in B.K.O about to improve search feature, based on
metadata. Comment and vote for it :

Nota : normally with digiKam 0.9.0, all IPTC keywords are imported into
digiKam tags from database at first startup

Of course, you can perform search about digiKam Tags. This wil solve your
problem temporally.
