           Summary: unified entry of metadata
           Product: kipiplugins
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: metadataedit
        AssignedTo: kde-imaging kde org
        ReportedBy: mikmach wp pl


Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

Currently in digiKam user see in Metadata menu with 8 options:

Edit IPTC
Remove IPTC
Import IPTC
Edit EXIF
Remove EXIF
Import EXIF
Edit Captions
Remove Captions

In near future there will be additional 3 entries about XMP. This is confusing and in many cases unnecessary. It would be great if in Metadata would be something like:

Edit
Remove
Import
Advanced >

In first three entries user would got smart form which would try to synchronize entries in all systems of metadata. In Advanced sub-menu will be entries split into separate systems.
