<quote> 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. </quote> why do you reply offlist where one cannot respond to you in that manner? I'm sure the dev's would consider any code you provide to implement writing/editing iptc tags not presently available. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
