[Digikam-users] Updating XMP metadata for a group of files?

[Simon Cropper]

Hi Remco,

No I am not talking about tags.

I am talking about updating the metadata information.

If you select a file and using the menu select "Image > Metadata > Edit 
all Metadata", a dialog box appears that allows you to update the data 
inserted into the image header.

If you select the 'Keywords" icon in the left toolbar you are presented 
with a range of keywords, or the option to add keywords. This is what I 
am talking about. In general this sequence edits the metadata for one 
image at a time. I am interested in updating several images at a time.


Specifically the XMP
