[DONE] Add "ML Deflicker" tag to post-deflicker xmp files

[Marsu42]

Not only seem to be some issues with ACR (nor) reading xmp files (see http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5724.msg50383#msg50383) but I'm a big fan of tagging with keywords so I can quickly sort files in postprocessing.

Request: Add a "ML Deflicker" Keyword to the xmp files so you know which files have been ev-corrected by ml (so you can copy/past processing settings) and as a sideeffect you know your postprocessing software has read/processed them at all. Should be trivial to implement, as long as you don't juggle around with keywords it's just one added line.

Can you modify an XML file so it contains that tag?

I don't have a license for Adobe software, sorry.

Can you modify an XML file so it contains that tag?

There are hirarchical "lr"-style tags and flat "dc" ones, I included the latter. This file is the same as in the bug ticket about LR not reading the xmp due to file date trouble (see http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=6468.msg50708#msg50708)

... and there's the full xmp file if I cut out anything important by accident:

Btw LR is a 30d trial and all betas are free, if ml adds more of the tagging/xmp stuff that is certainly very useful it might come in handy... a lot of people are using ACR in either PS or LR, so lots of potential new ml users :-)
