Hello and thanks for your work.<br>I'm new to digikam and IPTC.<br><br>My understanding is that<br><br> . "tags" in digikam may be stored as IPTC keywords (i.e. in the IPTC "Keyword"<br> field).
</blockquote><div><br>yes<br> </div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> . this field is 64 byte wide and can only store full ASCII characters
</blockquote><div><br>yes<br> </div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> . IPTC has many other fieds (such as location, ...) which can be hand-edited
<br> by a kipi plugin (through the Image menu).</blockquote><div><br>yes <br></div><br>Note : XMP support is under developpement and will be available for next release 0.10.0 (KDE4). XMP remplace IPTC-IIM.<br><br>All these limits will disapears : UTF-8, no size restriction, etc. kipi-plugin to edit metadata will be updated of course.
<br><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">My questions are :<br><br><br> . when I save my digikam tags as IPTC metadata : how can I be sure I don't
<br> overflow the header size ? What happens if I do (does the flag name gets<br> truncated ?)</blockquote><div><br>yes, it's truncated automaticly by Exiv2 library.<br> </div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
. does it make sense to have a digikam tag representing the picture location<br> since it will be saved in the keyword header, instead of in the maybe more<br> appropriate location IPTC header ?</blockquote><div><br>
What do you mean by picture _location_ ?<br> <br>Regards<br><br></div>Gilles Caulier<br></div><br>
