Priority of data for asGPS

[leahcimi]

I use GeoSetter to geotag Canon RAW (CR2) images and have the option of writng the GPS data into the image file or a sidecar file.

The default is to write the data into a sidecar file which has the format 'imagefile.xmp'. This means that asGPS does not see the data and doesn't show a position on its map.

If I write the GPS data into the CR2 file, asGPS works fine provided I haven't already done some editing with AfterShot Pro; if I have, asGPS doesn't see the GPS data in the image file and seems to be overridden by empty fields in the 'imagefile.cr2.xmp' file created by AfterShot Pro.

I have discovered a workaround for this but it is a bit messy: if an image has had GPS data added to it after the creation of an AfterShot pro xmp file, first create a new version from default, then copy its properties (Ctrl-C) and paste then into the original, then delete the new version.

Hm,

I think "merge external metadata" in ASP (from menu) should merge the data from your xmp files. asGPS should see these values after that. asGPS does only see tags/options ASP is aware of. If it doesn't, please make a small test, write what you have done and provide the AfterShotPro.log file.

Thanks Andreas,

Indeed AfterShot Pro's "Merge External Matadata" does merge the data from the xmp files.

Thanks for your help.
