[Digikam-users] Metadata blues.

[Tom Cada]

Forget it - I just found the area to work with the photo's metadata.
And yes, I can apply a selected template to one or a range of photos.
Brilliant! Great work! My life is complete, the world is as it should
be, and God is in His (Her?) heaven.

Thanks... Tom.
