BIG MASSIVE METADATA BUG !!!
UNDO does NOT WORK WITH THIS ONE!!!
when merging external metadata to a group of files, ALL the existing metadata except for the active image gets deleted and only the external metadata is saved to the ASP.xmp. this includes labels, ratings, keywords and the whole iptc section.
i created a script that writes the filename into a regular xmp file as "iptc.title", so other databases can pick up on that. e.g. my current test-install of zenphoto (selfhosted image gallery) uses the title for display.
here is one of the xmp's for reference:
Code: Select all
<x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" x:xmptk="XMP Core 4.4.0">
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">
<rdf:Description rdf:about=""

</x:xmpmeta>
actually, since it works with single files, my code is okay.
already shocked the Monkey with this report.
