That is very awkward and should be unnecessary. DT should really have the
capabilty to add full metadata, otherwise it will never be a complete
replacement for a program like LR or others with a graphical interface to
add metadata.

I'm sure the dev's would consider any code you provide to implement
writing/editing iptc tags not presently available.
