<para>
    Using the metadata plugin's <guilabel>Import</guilabel> 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 <guibutton>OK</guibutton> and the data will be copied over.

<para>
    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 <command>exiv2</command> capabilities to learn which
    formats are supported.
