#51483 - 03/21/10 08:37 AM IPTC info problem (Country and Country Code, DP6 RC2)

Using DP6 RC2, if I tag an image (NEF) with IPTC info: Country = "Bangladesh" Country Code = "BGD" the info appears correctly in the IPTC captioning dialog, but in the dockable "Image Info" window, it appears as Country="BGD" and Country Code is empty.

Also, if I look at the NEF and the XMP files using exiftool (version 8.12), I find that the NEF has Country-PrimaryLocationCode = "BGD" and Country-PrimaryLocationName = "Bangladesh" but these seem reversed in the XMP file: Country = "BGD" and CountryCode = "Bangladesh"

I don't have a way to tell whether Digital Pro or ExifTool is wrong about which field is which in the XMP file, but there is a conflict.

Edit Reason: clarify subject and add further info regarding exiftool results

Jonathan--Thanks for the heads up. We'll take a look at the data tables we use for that as it sounds like something got reversed!--David

Jonathan--Yes, the mapping from IPTC to XMP was reversed for those two fields. It'll be fixed for the final release. Thanks for the catch!--David

Here's another: the "Title" (IPTC "ObjectName") field is not displayed in the "Image Info" dockable window. The Title appears properly in the IPTC captioning dialog box, but not in the "Image Info" window.

I verified with exiftool that ObjectName is set properly in the NEF file and Title is properly set in the xmp file, but the title does not appear in the Image Info window.
