Nothing.

I think AfterShoot XMP namespace is not scanned.

If AfterShot store data in standard XMP namespace, info will be found,
else, this is another particular case to implement, as usual.

What do you not found in digiKam as information store in xmp sidecar by AS ?

May it's due to a different naming schema for XMP file between Digikam and  
AfterShot, as it's the matter between Digikam (or Darktable) and Lightroom  
for example.

What is the name of your xmp files ?

You said you have a photo = "file.jpg" and  XMP file = "file.xmp"

But, if there's no change since I try, Digikam XMP's file name should be "file.jpg.xmp" and not "file.xmp".

It could be nice if this was configurable, but I don't think. 

With this kind of naming, you event don't have to make import metadata, Digikam recognize the XMP for each file and you just have to do "re-read metadata from files" (but you have to be sure you don't have Digikam only metadata in your Digikam database (May be they could be lost but I'm not sure ?).

What you use (metadata > import XMP) force you to choose an XMP file each time, but with multiple files, it can't simply figure which XMP files it have to import for each files.

It isn't that the data isn't being added.  The keywords are in Xmp.dc.subject and Xmp.lr.hierarchicalSubject sections.  One, the other or both seemed to be picked up by Digikam just fine when I click on each photo individually and go through the steps above.  I am hoping to find a way to get the program to scan all of the xmp files for all of the photos I choose and add the data to the images.  Hoping not to have to go through all 8000+ photos individually.

If this has been asked before I apologize.  I wasn't able to find a way to
search the email archives.

I am using DK 4.13.3 on Ubuntu 14.04.  I have a group of photos with XMP
sidecar files created in another program (Corel Aftershot Pro 2).  These
exist in the same directory as the photos (file.jpg) and are name
(file.xmp).  I am able to highlight a single photo in DK and import the .xmp
file by the route  Image > Metadata > Import XMP and chosing the .xmp file
for that image. The import works as expected and all of the keyword data
that was contained in the xmp file shows up in the tags for that image.
When I try to highlight multiple images and do the same thing I am still
instructed to choose a single .xmp file.   I have checked the documentation
and Googled and still cannot find out how to get DG to read all of the .xmp
files in the folder for the existing images.  My settings are set to read
sidecar file.  What am I missing?
