Bug ID: 513321
Summary: Metadata templates applied to multiple items overwrite
existing information in all items selected with that
from first item
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version First 8.8.0
Reported In:
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Metadata-Template
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
I have created metadata templates seperately for different Creators, leaving
the location blank, and for different locations, leaving the Creator blank. I
have applied the various Creators to multiple images by selecting them by
camera model.
I then proceeded to enter the Location metadata. If I select multiple images
for a given location which has multiple Creators, when I apply a template for
the location (with no Creator), it overwrites all the images with the Creator
from the first selected image.
Conversely, if I enter the locations first, then select images of one Creator
with different locations and apply a template for that creator (with no
location), it will overwrite the locations in all the images with the location
from the first image.
I have 1000's of images from a trip with three of us taking photos, and after
entering all the location metadata, I should be able to enter the Creator in
three goes by selecting the relevant camera models. But instead I have have to
create 3 templates for each of the 100's of locations with a different Creator.
This is really frustrating and time consuming and would really appreciate a
fix. It means entering this metadata takes 10 times as long as it should. The
whole concept of creating templates to enter metadata into multiple items is
inefficient and time consuming, but with this bug makes it much worse.
