[Bug 289223] New: XMP sidecars not written for M2TS and MTS video files

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=289223

           Summary: XMP sidecars not written for M2TS and MTS video files
           Product: digikam
           Version: 2.3.0
          Platform: MS Windows
        OS/Version: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Sidecar Management
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           2.3.0 (using KDE 4.7.2)
OS:                MS Windows

I have added m2ts and mts file types as additional movie file extensions in
confuguration dialog (MIME Types). I have chosen "Write to XMP sidecar only"
mode on Metadata tab of configuration dialog. It seems that I really can't get
digiKam to create XMP sidecars for my m2ts video files.

XMP sidecars are created for my image file types (jpg, rw2, cr2) but not for my
videos.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Install digiKam 2.3.0 in Windows 7 64 bit and try to add XMP sidecars to your
m2ts or mts video files.

Actual Results:  
All metadata (tags (=keywords), title, caption, pick label, color label,
rating) is apparently stored only in digiKam database - not in sidecars for
m2ts/mts files.

Expected Results:  
DigiKam should create XMP sidecars for mt2ts/mts video files (AVCHD) also.

I'm not sure if digiKam is meant to store metadata in XMP sidecars also for
video files. So my report above is a bug or a feature request. I really hope
digiKam could add XMP sidecars to any file type you like. =)

I think digiKam 2.2.0 added XMP sidecars for mts/m2ts files, but doesn't do
this anymore in version 2.3.0.

Are you sure. There is no difference between 2.2. and 2.3 about XMP sidecar
management.

I'm not 100 % sure. I would have to unistall 2.3.0 and reinstall 2.2.0... and
so on. But my mind has a strong belief that I managed to create sidecars for
MTS and M2TS files after I had added these file types as "additional movie
extensions" in configuration dialog, when using 2.2.0 version.

Just tell me should XMP sidecars be created for mts/m2ts files in 2.3.0
version, if I have added these file types in configuration dialog and chosen
setting "Write to XMP sidecar only"?!

XMP sidecars are nicely written for my photos (CR2, RW2, JPG) but not for my
videos. I even tried to add mts/m2ts file types  as "additional IMAGE file
extensions" with no help.

Ananta said he is working to get AVCHD thumbnails to be displayed in future
Windows version of DigiKam, but it would be nice to get at least the XMP
sidecars to work for mts/m2ts files.

Hi,

Before everyone starts his/her Christmas holiday, could someone kindly confirm
if digiKam is meant to create XMP sidecars for every file type? (I mean file
types currently supported and those added in MIME Types -tab of configuration
dialog)

If XMP sidecars are currently created only for certain file types, are you
going to extend this feature in near future for every file type user wants to?

I have a continuously growing collection of both digital photos and videos and
would like to find a DAM tool for the job shortly.

Okay,

I tested this with v.2.2.0 digiKam in Windows and it wasn't able to create XMP
sidecars for m2ts files. So I remembered probably wrong, when saying (comment
#1 above) that v. 2.2.0 created sidecars for video files.

yes, in theory, all files can be managed with XMP sidecar files.

Excuse me Gilles, but could you be more spesific, please? Is it:

A) XMP-sidecars are created for every file type user wants to in Linux version
of digiKam --> This is Windows version related bug.

B) Additional file types are added in Configuration dialog just so they can
labeled, keyworded etc. in database ONLY--> XMP-sidecars are created currently
only for fully supported still image files.

C) Something else??

Hopefully this gets fixed in next release of digiKam! =)

Git commit dc5992d18b9c4ff4fb2790187882635592e7b375 by Marcel Wiesweg.
Committed on 22/03/2012 at 22:21.
Pushed by mwiesweg into branch 'master'.

Do not completely fail load() if the file cannot be read: We should still try
the sidecar.

In particular, store the file path regardless of success because writing a
sidecar may
be possible even for unaccessible files
