I'm frustrated, because I edit an image, and then type a text and then saves,
and the text is now not with the edited image... :\ -- Anders _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Maybe you could tell us more what you are doing? A screenshot or two would be nice.

Some file formats do not support metadata -- e.g. PNG -- and some programs strip the metadata from the image by default. -- Cheers Simon Simon Cropper - Open Content Creator Free and Open Source Software Workflow Guides ------------------------------------------------------------ Introduction http://www.fossworkflowguides.com GIS Packages http://www.fossworkflowguides.com/gis bash / Python http://www.fossworkflowguides.com/scripting _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

PNG absolutely supports metadata. It is not defined/standardized as much as jpg, but is supported, and digikam writes to it all the same info, and I find most programs I have tried also read it fine. GIMP unfortunately does not yet retain png metadata after editing, so must copy using exiv2 or exiftool, but there are plans to fix that eventually, I believe.

My answer was a bit simplistic. I regularly use PNG with GIMP and have a range of scripts I have created to reinsert my metadata using exiv2. That said, for the uninitiated, it can be confusing why their metadata is stripped out of their photos. > ... and digikam writes to it all the same info ... OK, thats new... last time I checked it didn't but I just tried it and all the data is transferred. Great. People will still have problems when using some external tools like GIMP or ImageMagik to do some specific edits. -- Cheers Simon Simon Cropper - Open Content Creator Free and Open Source Software Workflow Guides ------------------------------------------------------------ Introduction http://www.fossworkflowguides.com GIS Packages http://www.fossworkflowguides.com/gis bash / Python http://www.fossworkflowguides.com/scripting _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

And as long as OP doens't provide more detail; we're only guessing :( Remco _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

The best workflow is update you metadata, save, then convert/develop the image. The metadata is then transferred to the new versions created. Alternatively, after converting the image and saving it you can either (a) update the metadata in the original file and click on "Apply to all versions" or (b) select both files and update the metadata and click on "Apply". > > http://owncloud.alweb.dk/public.php?service=files&t=b1028d3154f35b9ba0d0038d720998f9 > >> On Sat, Jul 27, 2013 at 7:57 PM, Anders Lund <[hidden email]> wrote: >>> I'm frustrated, because I edit an image, and then type a text and then >>> saves, >>> and the text is now not with the edited image... :\ >>> -- >>> Anders >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Digikam-users mailing list >>> [hidden email] >>> https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users > -- Cheers Simon Simon Cropper - Open Content Creator Free and Open Source Software Workflow Guides ------------------------------------------------------------ Introduction http://www.fossworkflowguides.com GIS Packages http://www.fossworkflowguides.com/gis bash / Python http://www.fossworkflowguides.com/scripting _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

I agree that is better, due to the data staying with versions. However, it's still a bit odd that what I did failed to work in the case of keeping the data in display. ;) > The best workflow is update you metadata, save, then convert/develop the > image.
