Title and Caption to be read from metadata by Digikam

[francois.pupier at free.fr]

Thank you very much Maik for your answer.

It's OK for Title after modifiyng the settings as you said. But not for Caption (Xmp.Caption not read). I found a workaround by copying Xmp.Caption to Xmp.dc.description, which is recognized by Digikam.

The goal was to a generate Video SlideShow with Title and Caption embeded, but only the Title is embeded, not the Caption, even after selecting it.
 
Moreover, the video mp4 generated stops after 50 pictures. I tried with other pictures, with the same result.

Do you have an idea about these problems ?

Thank you.

François

Look at the advanced metadata settings. There you can specify which
metadata is read first for the title and caption and you can even
specify which should only be written.
