            Bug ID: 379825
           Summary: Conversion of DNG files to DNG with metadata loss -
                    maybe add warning
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.5.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Import
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: vastus at gmx.net
  Target Milestone: ---

I own a Pentax camera which is capable of producing DNG-Files. Unfortunately i
had left the "convert raw files to dng"-option enabled when importing which
converted all my DNG files to DNG files but deleting Makernotes in the process
so that all the new DNGs now have missing lens information.
I think a warning when trying to convert from DNG to DNG would be a good idea
(maybe mentioning the possible loss of metadata) as this took me quite some
time to track down (at first i thought that the camera did no longer encode the
lens used, then i realised that the information was there in the jpeg files but
not the dng ones and finally i realised that i had left the conversion option
enabled).
