I think what was originally intended (having done some UI/UX work) was that the
user would duplicate or modify an existing template for each new variation and
then apply that new variation to the set of photos in that group. Unfortunately
that is unworkable in the long run for anything more complicated than
"vacation" photos from a single event / location.

All I want from templates is to be able to apply copyright, attribution,
contact information, and use instructions (such as tagging everything with the
CC BY-NC-SA license) without messing up other fields and without making it
difficult to edit other fields ad-hoc. Alas, Darktable cannot do that properly
by itself yet, so I am using Digikam to do it.
