Save Metadata

[Micha Neubauer]

Hello everybody,

I want to copy the meta-data from one picture to another (since I modified it in another
program which somehow preserved not all tags).

1. I can do it with the KIPI-Plug-in, but it actually needs 3 steps to copy all the meta-
data (EXIF, IPTC & XMP). Is there a possibility in copying all meta-data in one step? Same
refers to deleting meta-data; when you want to get rid of them you also have to delete
each meta-data format by itself.

2. I did it with the picture; all is fine. But then I "write meta-data to image" for some
strange reason the meta-data are erased again...
Anybody knows why and how I can solve this?

Thanks
micha

exiv2 is the command to use here. "exiv2 ex *.jpg" extracts all
exif/xmp/iptc data from the jpg file into a .exv file and "exiv2 in
*.jpg" inserts the corresponding .exv file into the jpg file. See man
exiv2 for more details.

Hello Martin,

thanks a lot for the answer!
Then I use exiv2 for this operation. Still it would be nice to be able to do this
operation in DigiKam with just one click...
Thank you, everybody contributing to DK
bye
