WilfriedB Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 If the Comment Tag contains any text and you use Version Control to check out the item, the Comment Tag is empty after checking in again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uwe Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Hi Wilfried, did you check if the checked-out file has the Comment Tag in the metadata? Regards, Uwe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilfriedB Posted March 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Uwe, according to my experience, the comment tag will never be synced into the metadata. What I mean, is the comment tag entered in Daminion - not originating from IPTC or EXIF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uwe Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Hi Wilfried, can't confirm it with JPG files. The comment entered in Comment Tag of the Properties Panel is saved in the EXIF tag User Comment and after check in it's still there.

WilfriedB Posted March 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hm, what is the difference? I also meant JPG. Long time ago, when I was still using the standalone version, I remember there was an option "Metadata Style" or similar. Now, I don't find it anymore.

Uwe Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 It's in the Admin panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilfriedB Posted March 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 That's what I was believing too, but I only found these options now: "Add Camera Raw format support" should not apply to JPG, but I tried several options without succes. Does this page look different for you, Uwe? If so, the reason might be that I only have the "Home Server" license ...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilfriedB Posted March 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I finally found an application (PhotoElf) which allows to edit the EXIF User Comment. So, I added a comment to an image and performed a Read Tags from File. Daminion was able to read the new comment, but after changing it, neither Sync nor Write Tags to File would change it in the metadata: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uwe Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 not in my case. I used the program Metadata++ to modify the User Comment Tag, then Daminion Read Tags from File -> it's updated in the Properties Panel -> modified teh Comment Tag in the Properties Panel and saved -> ok, no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make any difference for me: I can add or edit a comment also with Metadata++, Daminion is able to read it, but after changing it in Daminion, the changes are never written to the metadata. Coming back to my earlier post: Does the panel "Writing Metadata" in your Server Administration look the same as mine? I assume this is were the option "Metadata Style" was in the past.

Uwe Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hello Daminion Team, it seems to be a difference between Team Server and Home Server regarding the handling of the Comment Tag. Wilfried: Home Server - Comment Tag not saved into the file Uwe: Team Server - Comment Tag saved into the file Local Catalog: Comment Tag not saved into the file Regards, Uwe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daria Kotilainen Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Hi Uwe, are you sure that in the previous versions you were able to save the Comment tag to files? this option has been disabled for the server version in Daminion 5.5 However, Daminion should not delete unsynced tags from the originals, it's a bug - I've registered it Kind regards, Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand if Daminion avoids to change the Exif Comment (as opposed to IPTC of XMP). My main point is the fact, a comment completely disappears without any way to recover it, after checking out and checking in an item.

Daria Kotilainen Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Hi Wilfried, Yes, I've registered this issue as a bug because unsynced tags are deleted from the originals (not only comment, any unsynced tag - tested with Event and Place) Kind regards, Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilfriedB Posted June 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Thank you for clarification, Daria! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilfriedB Posted August 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 This seems to work correctly* now in Build 1960 - at least according to my test with three images 👍 * With "correctly" I mean, Daminion recovers the content of the Comment tag when checking in an item as it was, when the item was checked our. It will not be written to XMP or EXIF (i.e. I did not see it there), which is fine with me and I did not test with other unsynchronized tags.
