write Metadata Theme while importing pictures

[Werner, Manfred]

Dear sir or madam,

 

I have a question about importing metadata.
In the settings I have created a template with my details. However, these are not written when imported into the metadata of the images. I have to add these manually via batch processing.
The hook in "Settings / Metadata / Write this information in the metadata" is set.

May You give me a hint?


Manfred

I am running Digikam, currently ver 3.2.0, on openSUSE 12.3 with KDE
4.10.3 desktop.
I update Digikam from the repositories when they become available, so my
settings migrate forward.

I have noticed, I believe starting with 3.0 or perhaps 3.1, the following:

When I insert an SD card into multimedia reader, I get the KDE popup
asking what actions to take, and I select "Import to Digikam"
Digikam starts up, opens the main window, the suggestion of the day
window and on top the import window showing the pictures on my SD card.
What seems "wrong" is that the SD card contents are displayed in
Date-Ascending order.
My defaults for the folder are Date-Descending.
When I select View:Image Sorting Order I see that the radio button is
selected for Descending, I click it and the desired sort happens.

Is there a setting somewhere to get this sort to run(automatically) on
startup?
I don't see anything in ~/.kde4/share/apps/digikam/ that would help.

Thanks

Werner,

The metadata you document in the settings area are templates. You need
to apply them to the pictures you want. This does not happen automatically.

1. In the main window select 1 or more pictures; then
2. select the "caption/tags" icon in the right sidebar; and then
3. select the "Information" tab; and then
4. select the template you want to use from the drop down list; and then
5. click on the "Apply" button

As noted above you can apply you templates to more than one image at a time.

Hi,

(Haven't seen any answer for this question so I appologize if I have missed it...)

This is a bug in the settings. They are not preserved or they are actually not used as default.
There is a bug in the tracker here:
