Description

When I edit the metadata of a geopackage layer (right-click on the layer in the Layer panel - Properties / metadata), they are not saved in the Geopackage.

So if I right-click on the layer in the browser and choose "Properties", the metadata window that opens doesn't contain anything

History

#1 Updated by Giovanni Manghi over 6 years ago

that panel saves metadata in the project, not the datasource.

#2 Updated by Etienne Trimaille over 6 years ago

The metadata panel is still a work in progress.

There is still a lot to do about saving metadata. It's work package 3: metadata storage in the QEP: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/issues/91

Please check if this issue is still valid on QGIS 3.4.5 or 3.6.

#4 Updated by Gerben Schmidt almost 5 years ago

Hi,

Just installed QGIS 3.6
The issue is still valid: metadata cannot be written to a layer in a geopackage

#5 Updated by Giovanni Manghi almost 5 years ago

aren't such metadata written at a project level (and not really in the datasource)?

#6 Updated by Alessandro Pasotti almost 5 years ago

Yes: they are stored in the project XML, unless of course you store the project inside a geopackage, in that case the project XML itself is stored inside the geopckage.

so I guess this ticket is possibly invalid(?).
