I use rawtherapee to develop<br>raws (dng) to png. Due to that exif data is not preserved and I work<br>around that by using exiftool -tagsfromfile to copy them from existing<br>jpg or dng to corresponding png (definetely missing the import of exif<br>data digikam used to have, unless it's hiding somewhere I don't find it).<br>That works fine, when I check with exiftool, all the copied data is<br>there. In digikam, this sometimes works fine, sometimes it doesn't.<br>Sometimes digikam takes shows all the copied data, sometimes part<br>(especially it gets the dates wrong, but there might be other mismatches<br>I'm missing) and sometimes none of the data. I can't see any rhyme or<br>reason, which makes tracking a bit tricky.<br>With the last image that happened I tried around a little bit, deleted<br>all exif data (exiftool -all= img.png), renamed the xmp file and copied<br>the exif data again (exiftool -tagsfromfile img.jpg img.png). With<br>exiftool the expected happened - first no exif data, then the jpgs exif<br>data.<br>In digikam, the deleted data is taken just fine, digikam not showing<br>anything. But the copied data doesn't show up, even after having digikam<br>re-read the data.<br>One other image in the same folder, taken on the same day with the same<br>camera and same sd-card is working just fine - copied tags once and<br>digikam immediately showed them.<br><br>Is this a (known) bug or am I missing something?<br><br>Digikam is appimage 5.8.0 on sabayon linux.<br><br>-- <br>Andreas Ege<br><br> 2 Weston Hall Cottages<br> Weston under Penyard<br> Herefordshire HR9 7NS<br> GB<br> Mobile: +44.(0)7970.190925<br> Tel./Fax: +44.(0)1989.763534<br></body></html>
