[digikam] [Bug 368796] New: Problem with Exif-tags: ImageDescription and UserComment

            Bug ID: 368796
           Summary: Problem with Exif-tags: ImageDescription and
                    UserComment
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.1.0
          Platform: MS Windows
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Metadata-Editor
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]

Hello,

I work with digikam 5.1.0, which has Exiv2 0.25, on a Windows XP 32-bit system.

The tag-content of exif tag "UserComment" is always taken to exif tag
"ImageDescription".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a thumbnail for editing metadata.
2. Select Menu: Item-> Edit Metadata
3. In panel opened select tab Edit Exif -> Caption Information

This panel has input fields called: Description and Caption
When I enter a value to Caption and press button Apply then both fields
Description and Caption have this identical value.
Existing value of Description will be overwritten.
When I enter a value to caption, another value to Description and press Apply,
the value of Description is not taken into account.

It is not possible to enter different values to these tags. Always the value of
Caption is taken.
In case of Caption contains Unicode-characters (non Ascii-characters) the
characters are written into Description, which should contain only
Ascii-characters. The Unicode-characters are displayed as character ?.

Actual Results:  
In main-window of digikam (on the right side) with Metadata -> Exif the newly
entered values are displayed as ImageDescription and as UserComment, which are
their Exif-tagnames.

Expected Results:  
It should be possible to enter different values to these 2 tags
and "Caption" should be called "UserComment".
In German translation "Beschriftung" (for Caption) should be called
"Benutzerkommentar".

Thanks and
Best regards
Herb

Hello,

I regret I have no Linux/Unix system to test.
As I wrote I am working on Windows.

Best regards
Herb

Hello,

I retested the described behaviour on a Win7 x64 system.
The behaviour has not changed in Digikam/Showfoto version 5.4.0-01.

Sorry that I have no better news.

Best regards
Herb
