Write HTags to Xmp.lr.hierarchicalSubject

---- Reported by lucas@yorba.org 2013-04-01 11:17:00 -0700 ---- Original Redmine bug id: 6719 Original URL: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/6719 Searchable id: yorba-bug-6719 Original author: Lucas Beeler Original description: In an ideal world, there would be an open standard for storing hierarchical tags in XMP metadata. Yorba has even talked about putting one forward and publishing it on freedesktop.org (that's #4050). But we don't live in an ideal world. The de-facto standard for storing hierachical tags in XMP metadata is the Xmp.lr.hierarchicalSubject field. Now that we can expose custom XMP namespaces in GExiv2, we should be able to expose the Xmp.lr.* namespace (implementing this in GExiv2 is #3950). This ticket is for adding support for writing to Xmp.lr.hierarchicalSubject in Shotwell. Related issues: related to gexiv2 - Feature #3950: Expose Adobe Lightroom hierarchical subject tags (Moved) related to shotwell - Feature #4050: find vendor-neutral tag for storing keywords in XMP (Open) --- Bug imported by chaz@yorba.org 2013-11-25 21:59 UTC --- This bug was previously known as _bug_ 6719 at http://redmine.yorba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6719 Unknown version " in product shotwell.

I have provided a tested and working patch for writing to Xmp.lr.hierarchicalSubject in exiv2, it should be in upcoming version 0.25. http://dev.exiv2.org/issues/784 I am trying to test it with gexiv2, but have not been able to write as XmpBag type via gexiv2 yet. I am probably doing it wrong, so any help is very much appreciated! https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=712477 PS: The MWG has published a standard for hierarchical tags, but it is not used much. MWG-KW has been in exiftool for a while, and I just sent in a tested and working patch for exiv2 support as well. http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/MWG.html#KeywordStruct http://dev.exiv2.org/issues/1040 As always, the more people that can test those patches, the better! To an ideal world!
