Import Lightroom catalog

[digikam-2]

Starting to use the DK 5.7.0 app on Arch with Sqlite as the db.

I have some older Lightroom catalog (v5.7). Is there a way of
importing the data into DK?

I'm interested in:

* keywords/tags
* title
* description

I don't need (or want) the edits

if the tags are written into files' metadata you should be able to use "write metadata from images" in maintainance tool in digikam.

yes LR properties embedded in files metadata can be backported in DK database. I implemented myself this feature.

I made a mistake

It should be READ metadata from images not WRITE
