            Bug ID: 317745
           Summary: Store metadata incl. geolocation data into CR2 files
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: digikam
           Version: 3.0.0
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Metadata
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: cfunghi at gmx.net

Though I switched on the option 'metadata to RAW (experimental)', the metadata
I entered in digikam doesn't go to my CR2 files. Unfortunately the same happens
with the geolocation data I entered using digikam. Don't know what RAW formats
are handled (?) but for me it's important to have the CR2 files maintained.
Digikam is really a very great archiving and administration tool! All the more
it is really important to give it a sustainable, absolutely stable workflow
handling. And for me one part is to keep the metadata with the picture files
AND the data base. With this I can edit and convert my pictures also with
outside tools without loosing my definitions.

So, this is a big, big, big wish that you will go the way to implement a really
good workflow in the sense you recommend in the digikam documentation. 

Reproducible: Always




You might want to have a look at the ExifTool, that used in ExifToolGUI
(Windows based) and in the Geosetter (also Windows based). They show that's
possible to have the metadata and geolocation data included in CR2 (and other
RAW files) without problems (at least I couldn't find any claims).
