Apply, close the metadata editor, go to Image > Write metadata to image. Digikam uses exiv2 to write the metadata properties. 3) Check which XMP properties where written using the exiv2 command line tool. $ exiv2 -px image.jpg | grep City Xmp.iptc.CiAdrCity XmpText 13 Vancouver 4) Write equivalent property using exiftool: exiftool -ContactCity=Vancouver image.jpg 5) Confirm which property was written using exiv2 command line. $ exiv2 -px image.jpg | grep City Xmp.iptc.CiAdrCity XmpText 13 Vancouver Xmp.iptc.CreatorContactInfo/Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrCity XmpText 9 Vancouver Digikam has written the wrong property. According to the XMP schema, Creator Contact properties are nested under Creator Contact Info, not at the root level themselves. Exiftool has written the correct form of this property. Digikam/exiv2 have not.
