IPTC metadata not stored into the JPG files

[Michael Preschnofsky]

Metadata are not stored in the jpg-files whether I hit the "apply" button or
not.
The checkmarks appear in the tag-tree-view, but when I look at the file
properties e.g. in Windows Explorer they are not there. What do I do wrong?
Kind regards, Michael

Most likely you didn't tick the proper box in the configuration dialog:
under the "Metadata" section, in tab "Behaviour", there's an item "Write to
sidecar files" with a drop-down box below it. I've set that one to "Write to
image and XMP sidecar".

Note that the tag-tree-view reflects the data in the database (and not what's
saved to image or sidecar files), file data are only reloaded on request
(afaik).

Thank you very much. Now it works (surprise :-)).
Kind regards from Vienna/Austria
