Ok guys.

Let's me resume the current implementation status about IPTC metadata management :

- digiKam from trunk (next 0.9.0-beta3 release) store digiKam tags to IPTC keywords _AND_ can restore/create digiKam tags from IPTC keywords.
- since digiKam 0.9.0-beta1, we have a full support of IPTC tags in album GUI and Editor using Exiv2 library. There is an IPTC viewer on right "Metadata" sidebar.
- in kipi-plugins from trunk (next 0.1.3 release), Exiv2 library is used ined libkexif. A new plugin named "MetadataEdit" have been added to edit in single or Batch mode IPTC metadata. Look this blog entry for details:

Before to close this B.K.O file, i'm waiting your contructive comments. About the new plugin, please use the kipi-plugins B.K.O entry to make reports using "metadataedit" component.

Thanks in advance
