[Digikam-users] No UTF-8 in Keywords?

[Gilles Caulier]

Piort,

Yes this problem will be definitivly resolved in digiKam 0.10.0 to use XMP
metadata witch support UTF-8 by default.

IPTC and characters encoding is a mess. Nothing is clear. If you use the
right IPTC encoding tag to set UTF-8, other photo-management program will
lack text information (for ex photoshop).

This is why i have delayed the iptc/utf8 problem to study a right fix. A
program like imatch from photools suite under win32 use a settings to
converter automaticly all tag strings to utf-8.

This is a way that i would to use in the future :
