Hi,
I'm using IEMetaListView together with ImageEnView to allow users to edit metadata.
Once the user is done, I call:
IEMetaListView1.SaveMetaToFile(ImageEnView1.IO.Params.FileName, [iemEXIF, iemIPTC, iemDICOM]);

However, not all metadata seem to be updated. Specifically, I allow the user to clear all existing metadata and insert only selected fields, but some original metadata still remain in the image.
Would it be better to use InjectJpegEXIF instead in this case?
Thanks!

Hi Luigi

So we can reproduce this issue here, can you supply an sample file, and the steps that are you taking?

Hi Nigel,
edit MetaLisView demo, adding IPTC_Info.AddStringItem(2,120,'test') in btnClearAll event after Reset

procedure TMainForm.btnClearAllClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
  ImageEnView1.IO.Params.ResetInfo([]);
  ImageEnView1.IO.Params.IPTC_Info.AddStringItem(2,120,'test');
  IEMetaListView1.Update();
  UpdateState();
end;

then with MetaListView.exe modified open image attached, then "Clear All Meta-Data", it should remain in the metalistview only Caption='test', then click "Save Meta-Data to Image" and save on the copy of the same image...all IPTC fields are identical to original except for Caption. I expected that delete fields disappear.
