[digiKam-users] how to import exif file

[Martin Plewa]

Hello everybody
How to import Exif information in digikam, please?
Using the Image -> Metadata -> Import EXIF command, you can copy EXIF
metadata from one photo to another. This is written in the official
documentation, but it is not possible to do anymore, menu structure
changed and it is not clear how to import *.exif file i just exported
with digikam

thank you for your help

Hello everybody, i just want to try this again for asking you how to
import Exif information to a photo in digikam, please?
According to the official documentation (which is outdated):
Using the Image -> Metadata -> Import EXIF command, you can copy EXIF
metadata from one photo to another.
it is not possible to do anymore, menu structure changed
and it is not clear how to apply an *.exif file (I just exported
with digikam) on a jpg-file.
At the moment i am using Luminance as a work around.

thank you for your help

The import feature aka Exif, Iptc, and Xmp as bytearray has been removed due to the risk to corrupt image if wrong values are imported, especially with exif which integrate technical details of the image.

You can use xmp template to apply string details to the image in batch, through the batch queue manager
