Bug ID: 367788 Summary: It should be possible to save Metadata templates Product: digikam Version: 5.2.0 Platform: Kubuntu Packages OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: wishlist Priority: NOR Component: Metadata-Template Assignee: digikam-de...@kde.org Reporter: wscheffn...@gmail.com Metadata templates are an important tool to edit metadata, in particular if you want to edit the metadata of a whole selection of images. The possibilities to batch-edit metadata are still quite limited otherwise in digiKam, but that will be subjet to another wishlist entry. So I put quite some work into creating a system of templates for different authors, years, locations (more general like "England" and more detailed like "England, London, Picadilly Circus"). But many times I lost all this work, first when I changed from ACDSee to digiKam, then when bought a new computer, then when I updated to 5.2.0. Now I'm a bit hesitating to create a new system of templates although I would need it so badly. digiKam makes 'organizing digital photographs a "snap".' I'm pretty sure it's a "snap" for a good developer to add a "Save" button in the Metadata Templates Manager so that one could save the whole collection of templates to an external file and an "Import" button to import previously backuped templates. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select a pic in the Albums view 2. Click on Captions/Tags on the right sidebar 3. Select the "Information" tab 4. Click on the little button to the right of the Template-field to open the Template Manager Actual Results: You see no "Save" and "Restore" or "Import" button to backup the whole collection of templates externally. Expected Results: There should be a possibility to save templates externally. An (maybe even better) alternative would be a backup function for all the personal adjustments and preferences the user made in digiKam. In the input page for KDE bugreports it says in the "Severity" - section: "Say how serious the problem is, or if your bug is a request for a new feature." The "or" is wrong here. This is a request for a new feature *and* it is a serious problem! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
