           Summary: GPS kipi plugin truncates input coordinates, introducing
                    inacuracy
           Product: kipiplugins
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kde-imaging kde org
        ReportedBy: pjvenda pjvenda org


Version:           0.1.3-rc1-svn (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.1.1 (Gentoo 4.1.1-r3) CFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -mtune=pentium-m -mmmx -msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse,387 -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -O2 -pipe"
OS:                Linux

With digikam, using Image menu -> Geolocalisation -> Edit Coordinates dialog to input coordinates into a picture file's metadata, the corresponding kipi-plugin/digikam (not sure which is bugged) apparently truncates the fractional part of the numbers;

Example:
1. Desired coordinates: 40º 19' 40.55" N, 7º 35' 11.32" W (40.32793056 lat, -7.58647778 lon);
2. input lat: 40.32793056, lon: -7.58647778;
3. click ok
4. metadata info is lat: 40.3278333333, lon: -7.58633333333

latitude is off by 2,411e-4% (9.723e-05 or 10,82 m)
longitude is off by 1,90e-3% (-1.444e-4 or less than 16 m)

How to Reproduce:
1. Input desired coordinates in Degree decimal format;
2. Input latitude and longitude;
3. Click "OK";
4. View metadata info and compare the numbers. They differ;

Expected behaviour:
Accuracy should not be wasted.
