Reading IPTC data in 0.8

[Dotan Cohen]

I'm trying to import photos from a Windows program, BrilliantPhoto,
into DigiKam. BrilliantPhoto stord all the tags as IPTC data. How can
I make these tags visible in DigiKam? I'm on Kubuntu 5.10 and DigiKam
0.8.1.

If DigiKam cannot do this natively, I can read the IPTC data and
output a text file with the data, be it an XML file or SQL that can be
inserted into a database. What format can DigiKam import? A simple
example file with a few photos should get me started.

Thanks.

Dotan Cohen.

digiKam 0.8.x do not support IPTC. current implementation from svn yes !!!
(next 0.9.0 release)

Look in digiKam web project page recent screenshots taken with current
implementation, like this :

http://www.digikam.org/?q=node/103

To extract or set IPTC metadata in JPEG file, digiKam use Exiv2 library. A
command tool is available in this lib. Look here :

install exiv2 http://www.exiv2.org/download.html followed by installing
the developement version (which is not recommended by the digikam developers
for production usage) http://www.digikam.org/?q=download/svn

Marcus.
