Allow exporting star rating to saved image metadata

[Beep6581]

RawTherapee allows one to rate images using stars. It would be nice if these ratings were transferred to the processed files when metadata copy mode = apply modifications.

Which tag should be used? In my opinion, the following tags if possible: xmp:rating, exif:rating. iptc:imagerating.

What should be done to existing rating info? In my opinion, it should be overwritten with RT's rating if one is set. Doing so will prevent chaos caused by mismatching rating tags.

Hi,

I'm shifting more and more of my work from Lightroom 6.14 to RawTherapee, and I support this enhancement request.

In my workflow, I set star ratings to all pictures before exporting them from the raw converter, so I have the rating in digiKam where I organize my finished pictures.

Right now, with RT, I have to use a workaround:

• RT: assign star rating to pictures
• RT: filter for ratings
• RT: assign temporary tag that corresponds to rating to all pictures
• RE: export all pictures
• dK: filter for temporary tags assigned in RT
• dK: assign corresponding star rating
• dK: remove temporary tag from RT

Possible, but very awkward. Would be great if this could be simplified.

I'd like this feature as well. Is there any progress with it? Until RT v5.10, I was just using a little hack, custom profile files such as

[MetaData]
Mode=1
[Exif]
Rating=5

which would save Exif Rating tag to processed jpegs even though it wasn't officially supported. But that stopped working since Metadata tab changed in v5.10. Now, I'll have to do the same procedure as @Bezierr . Or is there a way to run an executable after an image is processed? (Similar to Profile Builder on the first edit.) That way I could make myself a script to rate the images after the fact.
