Tim,
First of all thanks for the reply. I love digikam and want it to be my
new photo album software. My big question for everyone was in relation
to this bug I found. It looks like others have addressed this, but I'm
fairly certain this fix is NOT part of the 1.2.0 kipi-plugin release?
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155374
I have been looking at the metatags like crazy trying to understand what
the difference is, and I am stumped! At this point I am convinced that
the tage contents make no difference. I have uploaded the exact same
image using digikam and ACDSee with the following IPTC tag set:
exiv2 -p a 100301-191512_7468.JPG | grep -i spinning
Iptc.Application2.Headline String 12 Two Spinning
ACDSee works, digikam does not. The reason in my case is clearly the
plugin. The ACDsee Flickr plugin as a drop down for the user to choose
what to use as the image title on Flickr. The options are:
Filename (default)
IPTC Headline
ACDSee Caption
The kipi-plugin offers no such option. Setting the "headline" IPTC tag
in Image>Metadata>Edit IPTC does not work either, Flickr seems to ignore
it.
I would love to hear Gilles Caulier, or Siu Chung comments on this item.
