"replace only if original value is empty" for Edit XMP...

[herb]

Hello Pierre,

I am working on a Windows 10 system with version 0.98.2.

The dialog "Edit IPTC..." for multi-selection of files has the options:
- keep original value if new value is empty
- replace only if original value is empty.

But dialog "Edit XMP..." for multi-selection does only have
- keep original value if new value is empty

This dialog should be enhanced also with option
- replace only if original value is empty

Thanks in advance

I've not kept these options for XMP because not sure that they are used??

Hello Pierre,

The IPTC organisation defines all IPTC-tags and it recommends the following:
- write/store IPTC-tags inside XMP
- and store them also in IPTC-IIM - but for legacy only.

So please implement "replace only if original value is empty" for Edit XMP...
Edit IPTC... and Edit XMP... should behave identically.

Thanks in advance
