OS: MS Windows
Status: UNCONFIRMED

Hallo,
I work with DigiKam/Showfoto 5.2.0 on a Win7 system.
I wrote some IPTC tags, that contained also both German umlauts and also
chinese characters with Exiftool into a *.jpg image.
I opened this image with ShowFoto and all IPTC-tags were read and displayed
properly.
I opened the edit-metadata dialog for this item in digiKam and also all
IPTC-tags were displayed properly.
They were also rewritten properly into the image (as far as I can decide).
I also have seen that in case of writing IPTC into an image the code sign (=
CodedCharacterSet tag) is set to UTF8 (which is necessary for Unicode values).
In GUI of digiKam it is stated that all IPTC-tags allow only ASCII input.
But for me the above test showed that only the input of Unicode characters is
missing in digiKam/ShowFoto.
This is very important (for me) because e.g. all German Umlauts are Unicode
characters.
So please allow input of Unicode characters as values of IPTC tags.
Remark: Also XnViewMP and also Daminion support this feature.
Reading IPTC tags they use CodedCharacterSet tag.
Is this tag not given for IPTC tags not stored in UTF8 they support a setting
to enter the encoding.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards
Herb
