Patch to write nested IPTC metadata

[Alan Pater]

Hi

I have patched metadataedit to use nested XMP tags for IPTC fields.
I'd like someone to test it as I have not been able to get digikam and
kipi-plugins to build on my system.

The patch is attached here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=313203

Cheers,
Alan

Hi Alan,

Thanks for your patch.

I take a look, not tested yet. I don't know this nested form of tag
supported by IPTC through Exiv2.

Your patch fix MetadataEdit plugin. But what's about Template editor
from digiKam core which play with same metadata ?

Best

That was fixed in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=287267. There
are some notes there on the nested structure.

As well, there is mention of this structure at
http://www.exiv2.org/doc/xmpsample_8cpp-example.html

// Add a creator contact info structure
    xmpData["Xmp.iptc.CreatorContactInfo/Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrCity"] =
"Kuala Lumpur";
    xmpData["Xmp.iptc.CreatorContactInfo/Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrCtry"] = "Malaysia";
    xmpData["Xmp.iptc.CreatorContactInfo/Iptc4xmpCore:CiUrlWork"] =
"http://www.exiv2.org";

Oops, looks like I missed some curly brackets in the changes I made.
I'm building a new package now to test if it actually works and will
keep you informed ...

OK. I fixed up the patch and tested it via an build for Ubuntu
available on my ppa: https://launchpad.net/~alan-pater/+archive/dwc

It works as I expected, reading both nested & non-nested tags; writing
back only the nested version.

The updated & tested patch has been uploaded to
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=313203
