[digikam] [Bug 372158] New: Allow changing metadata of multiple images at once

            Bug ID: 372158
           Summary: Allow changing metadata of multiple images at once
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.2.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Metadata-Editor
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]
  Target Milestone: ---

Maybe I am mistaken but as far as I can see, there is no possibility to batch
edit metadata. You can edit metadata one by one in the metadata editor or you
can apply a template in the BQM. Both are way too cumbersome for an easy task
like adding a photographer name to the "Artist" field of several images.

What I would like to see is the possibility to select multiple images and fire
up the metadata editor to apply changes to all the selected images
simultaneously.

The case where images already contain differing metadata could be solved by
either greying these conflicting fields out or adding a placeholder like
"multiple values".

--- Comment #1 from Kristian <[hidden email]> ---
I'd like to see this feature, too.

Apparently, this workaround does not work anymore since digikam 5.0.0:

Can somebody confirm?
