[Digikam-users] Headline: XMP vs IPTC; where to set in digicam; country; update

[Sebastian Schubert]

Hi,

I have several minor issues with the tags. I have got a picture with one XMP 
and one IPTC headline tag. digicam says under IPTC:

> > File name: 20100131-190850-01.jpg (IPTC Records)
> >
> > >>> IIM Application 2 <<<
> >
> > ...
> > Headline : Ölbild
> > ...
> >
> > >>> IIM Envelope <<<
> >
> > Character Set : %G


OK, apparently the umlaut is wrong which is somehow expected when IPTC can 
only use ASCII.

Well, the XMP tags are:

> > File name: 20100131-190850-01.jpg (XMP Schema)
> >
> > >>> Adobe Photoshop <<<
> >
> > ...
> > Country : Deutschland
> > ...
> > Headline : Ölbild
> >
> > >>> Basic Schema <<<
> >
> > Rating : 1

Here we have a correct umlaut. Is there a way to prefer XMP when importing? 
The wrong text is shown under the small preview picture as headline.

Btw., is there a way to edit this field? I was not able to find a field for this.


Then, digicam seems to ignore the Country information. In the digicam Location 
fields City, Sublocation, Province are correct, only country is empty. What can 
I do? Bug?


Then, I there a way to update the tags when the old picture is overwritten 
with a new one? The old version had a rating of 0 stars. Apparently, digicam 
knows that the new one has one star (see above), but this is not shown. I 
tried "Rebuild Fingerprints", it did not work.'

THX
