           Summary: flickr export without using application tags: Flickr
                    still reads embedded metadata into tags
           Product: kipiplugins
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: flickrexport
        AssignedTo: kde-imaging kde org
        ReportedBy: x3ri7yz02 sneakemail com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

When exporting images to Flickr, the export plugin can optionally use the application tags.  If this option is NOT selected it seems that the user's intent is to manually enter tags in the space provided, or to upload the image without tags.

In this case, if the tags have been stored in image metadata by Digikam, Flickr reads this information and so the application tags appear on Flickr anyway.  Given the user's presumed intent (as above), I think the export plugin should provide the option to strip out that metadata from the image being uploaded. 

(While this behaviour is presumably the result of Flickr tagging API instead of kipi-plugins, I think kipi-plugins could provide a solution.  So this is a wish, not a bug.)

To Reproduce:
- In Digikam, under Settings -> Metadata, in the "IPTC Actions" pane, set "Save image tags as 'Keywords' tag" to ON.
- tag an image with any keyward (eg "test")
- Use Flickr export.  De-select option to "Use application tags".

Desired result:  
- image is uploaded without any tags

Observed result: 
- image is uploaded with "test" tag preserved
