IIM metadata not being written
GIMP version: 2.10.4
Operating System: Fedora 27
Package: flatpack via command line
Description of the bug
IIM metadata does not appear to be written by GIMP
Approximately twenty of the Core Schema IPTC fields appear in both the IIM and XMP data blocks.
There is a handy chart in section 8 of the IPTC standard ( https://iptc.org/std/photometadata/specification/IPTC-PhotoMetadata ) that shows fields that appear in both places. Note that there are some errors of ommission in the chart. (Intellectual Genre, Subject Code, Categories, and Supplimental Categories, that I can think of)
It's best to go by the individual field descriptions, I guess.
The PDF version of the standard has a linked table of contents that I find makes it easier (less agonizing) to use. I'll attach it in case anybody feels the same.IPTC_Photo_Metadata_Standard_2017.pdf
