            Bug ID: 309254
          Severity: normal
           Version: 2.8.0
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
           Summary: Contact informations from template aren't written to
                    xmp-tags of jpg-files
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: knut.hildebrandt at yahoo.de
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: Metadata
           Product: digikam

I usally write all metadata including the contact information coming with the
copyright information from a template into the jpg's. This worked fine until
version 2.5.0 (running under KDE 4.9.2 on Kubuntu 1204). With the upgrade to
Kubuntu 1210 digikam was updaded to version 2.8 and all of a sudden not all
copyright information is being written into the images files anymore. Namely
the contact infomation is missing.  I'm neither able to locate it going through
the menu "Image/Metadata/Edit all Metadata " nor using gwenview. The respective
fields are greyed out.

I think, but am not sure, the problem started with digikam version 2.6 which I
had installed under Kubuntu 1204 from unsupported repositories. Since I assumed
this was due to inconsictancies in the repositories I downgraded again to wait
for a supported version. But the problem still exists after the upgrade to
Kubuntu 1210 and digikam 2.8 (all installed from supported repos).

That is why I downgraded on Kubuntu 1210 digikam to version 2.5.0 too and
everything works as it used to work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a template mit contact information like emai-address, phone number,
etc.
2. append these to the medatada of an image
3. write all metadat into the image files
4. view them using gwenview, gimp or going through the digikam menus.
Actual Results:  
Contact information is missing in xmp-tags after writing copyright information
from the template into the image files (at least in versions 2.6 to 2.8).

Expected Results:  
Contact information should be wirtten into xmp-tags as it was in versions 2.5.
