darksabersan Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 Hi guys, Since a very long on ArcGIS, I am used to use Metadata to goes along with my data, like Shapefile, GDB, etc. I add all king of usefull informations that I can provide to it. Using QGIS 3.x is definitely not a hard job regarding Metadata because they are store into a *.qmd file and this works very fine. I am much more trouble to use QGIS 2.x because there is the Metadata tab into the layer properties but I am unable to make it work. I mean, I can't see any *.xml file and when removing the data from the canvas and add it again, everything is gone. Anyone with Metadata experience can tell how to do it with QGIS 2.x ? Thanks ! darksabersan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intertronic Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) try with a plugin like metatool download here : https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/metatools/ directly in qgis Menu > Plugin > search for metatool.. you have to create a profile, then you can edit the metadata and export it as xml infos here : https://gis-lab.info/qa/metatools-eng.html https://nextgis.com/projects/metatools/x Edited April 29, 2020 by intertronic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabersan Posted May 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) @intertronic, thanks for your input. I found a solution that suite my case better due to the fact that we are using both version of QGIS and also because I was looking for interoperability. Therefore I have decided to use QSphere. Most probably not well known around the globe. https://qgis.projets.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/projects/qsphere GUI quiete ugly but at least is doing the job. 😉 darksabersan Edited May 6, 2020 by darksabersan 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
