If use the metadata<br>editor on the tools panel, I can just change it one by one. If I want to<br>process several at a time, I use the Batch Queue Manager.<br><br>By default, the Batch Queue Manager does not overwrite pictures, you have to<br>actively check that option, and there's also a whole "Saving images" tab<br>dealing with JPG quality and that kind of stuff. <br><br>My question is: If I am just changing the date of a group of JPG pictures,<br>do they lose quality every time a change is made, or the batch queue manager<br>just changes the metadata and leaves the picture intact? <br><br><br><br>--<br>Sent from: <a href="http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/digikam-users-f1735189.html" target="_blank">http://digikam.1695700.n4.<wbr>nabble.com/digikam-users-<wbr>f1735189.html</a><br></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br></div>
