 Hello Uwe. Problem that you described above is not a  bug.

According EXIF Specification  and XMP Specification when a user creates authors tags in daminion, metadata writes in field EXIF: Artist and XMP: Creator. We don't use Windows XP Tags Scheme. 

From Exif tools:

0x9c9d	XPAuthor	int8u	IFD0	(ignored by Windows Explorer if Artist exists)

From EXIF Spec:

Artist
This tag records the name of the camera owner, photographer or image creator. The detailed format is not specified,
but it is recommended that the information be written as in the example below for ease of Interoperability. When the
field is left blank, it is treated as unknown.

From XMP Spec:

Artist
This tag records the name of the camera owner, photographer or image creator. The detailed format is not specified,
but it is recommended that the information be written as in the example below for ease of Interoperability. When the
field is left blank, it is treated as unknown.

Hello,

does it mean: Daminion doesn't manage the EXIF:XPAuthor tag? If yes, then: please change the daminion-metadata-mapping-rules.pdfofficial document of the mapping rules. If no: it's a bug.

Regardds, Uwe
