            Bug ID: 313203
           Summary: kipi metadata editor doesn't recognize contact info
                    written with digikam 2.6 and higher
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kipiplugins
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: MetadataEdit
          Assignee: kde-imaging at kde.org
          Reporter: knut.hildebrandt at yahoo.de

A month ago I filed a bug against digikam because apparently no contact info
was written into jpg-files by all versions greater than 2.6
(https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=309254).

As it turned out, the contact information actually is written into the pictures
but in a different manner than in digikam2.5 due to fixing a bug. They can be
seen in digikams metadata viewer as well as using exiv2.

Nevertheless they can't be accessed through the kipi metadata editor. The
respective fields are greyed out. And when I add the contact info using the
kipi plugin a second set of tag is added to the jpg- file. This holds true for
the plugin coming with digikam3.0.0 (compiled from git sources) as well as for
the one used by gwenview 2.8.4.
.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. write contact info from template into a jpg-file using digikam3.0.0
2. view metadata in metadata viewer of digikam -> it's there
3. open kipi metadata editor (image/metadata/edit all metadata) -> contact info
is missing
4. add contact info in kipi metadata editor
5. view metadata in digikam -> it appears a second, slightly different, set of
tags containing the contact informat
Actual Results:  
Got a second set of xml tags.

Expected Results:  
Would expect that digikam and kipi plugins use the same set of meta tags.
Nevertheless tags written with older version of digikam (2.5 and less) should
be visible and editable in kipi metadata editor as well.
