[Digikam-users] DNGConverter turns olympus ORF unusable

[Goose]

Hi again,
As a side note relating this extrange behaviour with dng conversion, i
noticed one important thing here with both tools (dngconverter from kipi and
dng converter from adobe)...
When i use the adobe tool, some olympus metadata (mainly makernotes) got
lost (or moved dont know here), but with kipi converter all remain in
place...
According this post http://www.digikam.org/drupal/node/373#comment-17882 and
other sites i've read over the net... adobe converted is supposed to save
all that metadata... is it a lie? is hidden somewhere into dng?

P.S.-Is not into dng xmp/iptc tags, or i haven't been able to find it!!
