           Summary: WISH: Batch RAW Conversion should copy tags / captions
                    / ratings to the converted file
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.2.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: RAW files management
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: bugs at sanderdekievit.nl


Version:           1.2.0 (using KDE 4.4.2) 
OS:                Linux

When converting from raw (MRW in my case) using either the Batch Queue Manager
or the Batch RAW Converter, the tags, captions or ratings that were given to a
RAW file are not transfered over to the converted file (PNG or JPG in my case).
When using the build-in Image Editor, this metadata was transferred to the
newly saved image.
I have not tested this with other conversions.
Wish: always copy metadata to the converted file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I did the following:
1. Load a number of RAW files (MRW in my case)
2. Add some tags, ratings and captions to a few files.
3. Convert a few of these files by using right mouse click and choosing edit. I
guess this is the build in editor for RAW files.
4. Save the files
5. Lo and behold. The metadata is copied over to the newly saved file.

Doing the same, using either the BQM or the Batch RAW converter does not yield
the same result. Namely, the metadata is not copied over to the newly saved
file.



I noticed that the metadata was not written to the MRW file. That might be the
cause for my problems. Please confirm.

I am available to help with this issues. Please let me know whether you think
this issue deserves to be solved!
