Proper way to re-geolocate the images?

[Lukas B.]

Hi!

Often I'm struggling with the exact same issue.

If I have multiple images to relocate to the (almost) same location, this might be the best way 
(workaround):

1. Take one single image and move it to the target with one of your methods.

2. Select all the other images *plus* the already re-located one. Now the map zooms out to cover all 
the image locations. Then drag and drop the other images to the target location.


I prefer this method, because usually there is already a few images at the proper location.


@digikam team: Is there the intention to not only add the GPS longitude and magnitude to the meta 
data with this functionality, but also the geographical location (IPTC information like country, 
province, city, etc.)?


Thanks,
Lukas
