Import existing nested tags to digikam

Jan Köster
I've just tested to import some existing albums previously managed in
bibble5 and tagged in a nested tag structure to digikam. All the tags
are stored in.xmp sidecar files with a comma as separator between tags
and a semicolon as separator between tag and sub-tag. Unfortunatly all
tags are imported to the same level ie the nesting is lost. Is there a
way to tell digikam to treat the semicolon as 'nesting separator' ?

Re: Why does digikam not read .xmp sidecar files (was: Import existing nested tags to digikam)

Hi,

after playing around a little bit I could find out that digikam is able
to read in my old hierachical tagging stored in .xmp sidecar files. But
you have to click "Image"->"Metadata"->"Import xmp" for every single
picture.
Digikam does not read any xmp although it is set in the settings. I know
that reading metadata from xmp sidecar is experimental but I wondering a
bit that these files are completely ignored.
Did anybody successfully read metadata for xmp sidecar files? Any advice
would be greatly appreciated.
