3668 - Person and other tags non-native formats like afpub

[Uwe]

Hello,
example format afbup - not natively supported by Daminion regarding metadata.
0. When selecting files without a person tag (person = empty), for example, the afpub format is not taken into account. I still have to test whether this applies to all natively supported formats, or Daminion should answer this question.
1. in the properties panel, the person tag of the afpub file is filled with ‘testperson’ and saved. Unlike other programmes, Daminion does not write a sidecar file for this format. This means that ‘testperson’ is only in the catalogue.
2. a ‘read tags from file’ now deletes the previously assigned person from the person tag. Together with all other tags. Irritating: Title, description and copyright are not deleted.
regards, Uwe

Hi Uwe, 

 

are title, description, and copyrights assigned via Daminion, or Affinity?

all the tags are assigned by Daminion

I was able to reproduce the issue. I cannot explain why indexed tags are removed, but linear tags are kept, as well as why this file format is not taken into account when searching by people=empty. I will register this as an issue, however, since there is no full support of the file format, we will hardly fix it until the full support is introduced.
