Hi CMJN and sorry for the late reply :-/

I advise you to add a note in [Bugtracker] ticket 922 to declare you're waiting for a fix (I'm sure ron will fix the problem if he knows many people are interested).

I also wanted to save some of these metadata in the images table, by setting use_exif=true and use_iptc=true and by selecting them with use_exif/iptc_mapping, and by creating corresponding columns in the images table.

I didn't even remember that Piwigo could fill columns that were not in the default data model, without modifying the PHP code. Nice to read this :-) (even if configuring the metadata mapping is still far too complex for any "basic" user).

with this diff submitted piwigo will read the IPTC Keywords from the high-Res Images (uploaded with pLoader) and write it to the DB.

I'm currently integrating your patch Polly.

I have a question : which version of pLoader did you use? (and which Operating System)

With pLoader 2.0.7b/Ubuntu9.04, the IPTC are not revmoved from the "web resized" picture.

(anyway, I integrate your patch, it is really useful, but in the pLoader specific case, I really wonder where the problem stands)

i used pLoader 2.0.5 with WinXP SP2.
Piwigo version i tested this patch was 2.0.6 + 2.0.7

When I look at your picture on http://aus.sam-net.de/picture.php?/321/category/15 I see that IPTC are not removed from the "web resized" picture. In your picture, I see 2#025 = oller,toller,voller (anyway, this is a nice feature to search metadata in high definition)

Thank you very much Polly for your patch :-)

btw:
why not include pLoader as a Plugin for BlueMarina or Lightroom?

Please open a new topic, this is a very important discussion :-)

currently we're working on getting ALL meta/IPTC-data from the highRes images.

Did you give a try to grum's plugin Advanced Metadata ?

i fixed the problem.

Which problem?

already uploaded wont be processed by the metadata script again.

Is this right?

What is the "metadata script"? Tell me exactly what action you perform to synchronize metadata.

If you upload the very same photo (with new resize settings for example), then the metadata won't be automatically synchronized.

I know you have read the code (since you sent a nice patch) and the update_metadata function is called only at the end of ws_images_add, not at the end of ws_images_addFile (which is the function called when you reupload a photo).
