[Digikam-users] Geotags and Flickr

> I've finally found the culprit. If you geotag a RAW file and then save it as JPEG, Flickr fails to read the geotagging data. But if you first convert the RAW file to JPEG and then geotag it, Flickr reads the geotags just fine. Hope this helps.

The second way work because geo tags are registered in JPEG Exif
metadata (in file in fact), and flickr backend read it.

I suspect that flickrexport tool convert RAW to JPEG internally and do
not include kipi host application (digiKam) metadata set in database
(as geolocation for RAW which are read only)

It's a bug, not critical, but a bug. Code relevant is there :

http://lxr.kde.org/source/extragear/graphics/kipi-plugins/flickrexport/flickrtalker.cpp#616

Look like all metadata are restored from RAW file to JPEG file but not
digiKam properties.

Please oopen a file in bugzilla about. Thanks in advance. The solution
is just few line of code to add. This can be done by somebody in
team...
