# Metadata Editor

The Kipi plugin Metadata Editor currently has no documentation. If you are interested in rectifying that situation, please contact the Kipi team mailing list at kde-imaging@kde.org.

Using the metadata plugin's Import function allows copying data from one image to another. Select the image you want to copy to in the main application. Then call the import function, which will open a file browser where you select the source image (the one you want to copy the metadata from). Click OK and the data will be copied over.

This feature does not work for all image formats. You can import from all formats but not write to them all. JPEG is supported for writing. Please refer to the `exiv2` capabilities to learn which formats are supported.
