No menu entry to edit metadata

[Nicolas - Tesla - L.]

Hi there,

i have uploaded a hundred photos on a site which has set tons of shitty
metadata in my photos. I'd like to remove it, now i auto-host these.

Everyone says to go to the menu « Image -> Edit -> Metadata », but that
very menu doesn't exist on my soft. I do have « Write Metadata in image
» and « Read again metadata from the image » (real-time translation from
my french interface, sorry), but both do nothing.

I'm running Digikam 4.12 on Mint (yeah, i like when dependencies hurt).

Thanks for tips

Try either Ctrl + Shift + M or Ctrl + M.

Also I think you better figure out an exiftool command to get rid of unwanted metadata. Digikam's abilities for that will be limited.

Ctrl + M hides Menu bar, with Shift it does nothing.

I'll take a look at an exiftool, but it's still strange i don't have the menu entry.

Thanks

Hi
You can remove tons of exif medata very quicky with command in console:
exiftool -r -overwrite_original  -all= /home/user/YourPhotos

Yeah, i've figured it. I don't want to remove all metadata, just crappy
ones.

Very simple, in fact, when you have managed to read the doc :

exiftool -overwrite_original "-IPTC:Headline" *.jpg

for example.

Works great.


Thanks for answers

I am not sure but maybe the packager compiled digiKam without that function...

You can try downloading an appimage from digikam.org I have been using pre-release 5.7.0 for a while now. It is rock solid.
