<p>I don't know if anyone have had similar experiences, but I am
having trouble with metadata in some pictures taken with an
iPhone. In particular, it's an iPhone SE. I don't know if that
matters, but I have not had this problem with any other phone or
camera.</p>
<p>Basically, I cannot write nested keywords in those pictures.
Keywords are saved in the picture, but as a plain list.</p>
<p>For instance, if I write this metadata:</p>
<ul>
<li>People</li>
<ul>
<li> Person1</li>
<li> Person2</li>
</ul>
<li>Places</li>
<ul>
<li> Barcelona</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p>After re-reading the metadata, it looks like this:</p>
<ul>
<li>People</li>
<li>Person1</li>
<li>Person2</li>
<li>Places</li>
<li>Barcelona<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>But it's not all pictures, just a subset of them. In the
particular case I'm having this issue now, it's just 63 pictures
out of 443.</p>
<p>Also, digikam does not re-read the written metadata once it's
saved, so usually you don't notice this problem until this
metadata has been scanned from digikam in another computer.</p>
<p>As a workaround, I open the picture with a photo editor (e.g.
Gimp) and overwrite it. Then everything goes back to normal.<br>
