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 <guilabel>OK</guilabel> and the data will be copied over.

            This feature does not work for all image formats. You can import from everything but not write to everything. JPEG is supported for writing. Please refer to the exiv2 capabilities to know which formats are supported.
