Bug ID: 448125
Summary: dc.title vs photoshop:headline
Product: digikam
Version: 7.4.0
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Metadata-Xmp
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Hi,
According to IPTC.org, dc:Title means "a shorthand reference for the digital
image. Title provides a short human readable name which can be a text and/or
numeric reference. It is not the same as Headline. Many use the Title field to
store the filename of the image [...]". And photoshop:Headline means "a brief
synopsis of the caption. Headline is not the same as Title."
So Headline is more related to Caption than Title. Thereby, it would be more
logical to have an Headline field into the Caption/Description panel instead of
a Title field. 1) Because of the similar semantic with Caption, 2) Because
according to IPTC.org description, dc:Title tends to be unique so it is not
logical to put it into a panel which allow to apply a Title to a set of
selected photos (at the opposite, it seems logical to have many photos with the
same headline ("birthday of Joe", as an example), 3) Because the Title field is
into the sub-panel of Item edit metadata panel described as "Use this panel to
record workflow information", when Headline filed is into the sub-panel
Content, near the Caption field.
Additional comment : The Metadata advanced setting panel relates xmp.dc.title
to both xmp.acdsee.caption (which has the meaning of photoshop:Headline) and
iptc.application2.objectname (which seems more related to the IPTC.org
description of dc:Title). It is a little bit confusing. May be it could be
better to be allow to set also related fields (such as acdsee.caption) for
Headline.
