Read/Write to sidecar files is grayed out (Digikam 2.6.0 on Gentoo)
Locked
 
|
I have installed Digikam 2.6.0 on a Gentoo system using Portage. Everything seems ok, except that the options 'Read from sidecar files' and 'Write to sidecar files' appear grayed out so I can't enable them. Also, when I activate metadata info for an image (using the metadata button on the right side bar), I can see tabs for Exif, Makernotes and IPTC info, but the tab for XMP info does not appear. Any clue what could be the cause? _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

As usual, look into source code to see the reason :
https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/repository/revisions/master/entry/utilities/setup/setupmetadata.cpp#L239 Your Exiv2 shared library is not compiled with XMP support (it's optional)...

Thanks for your answer. I don't know if you are used to Gentoo Portage, but I have the XMP USE flag defined in make.conf, so anything should compile with XMP support. Anyway, I have recompiled exiv2, just in case this flag wasn't active when exiv2 was installed. In the log I can see something like 'XMP support ....... YES'.
Still no luck. Then, I have recompiled digikam... no luck. I have tested the command 'exiv2 -eX image.CR2' , and an XMP file is created for that image... so I guess exiv2 is compiled with XMP support, isn't it?
(I have also posted the question to the Gentoo forum as I know this could be someting related to some Gentoo configuration, as I am new to this system... but no luck either...)

That was it! I reinstalled libkexiv2 and now it works. Thanks! Another question, if you don't mind: I have checked that the XMP sidecar file is created and it contains tags info, etc... however, in the metadata info, the XMP and IPTC tabs are always empty (I have checked that I have several items activated in the display lists in the metadata configuration). I am not sure if this is correct (maybe the images I work with, mostly RAW from a Canon 40D, or the JPEG I obtain after processing them doesn't contain info in these formats), or maybe I have another problem (I supposed the info stored in the SMP sidecar file should appear in this tab).

Do you switch right tags filter button on top of metadata views to disable filters. By default we show human readable tags, not all. > I am not sure if this is correct (maybe the images I work with, mostly RAW > from a Canon 40D, or the JPEG I obtain after processing them doesn't contain > info in these formats), or maybe I have another problem (I supposed the info > stored in the SMP sidecar file should appear in this tab). To be sure, send me by mail an archive with image + xmp sidecar to test here.

The last mail was rejected as the archive was too big... I send you this link where I hope you can download the archive: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Carlos Barahona <[hidden email]> Date: 2012/10/2 Subject: Re: [Digikam-users] Read/Write to sidecar files is grayed out (Digikam 2.6.0 on Gentoo) To: digiKam - Home Manage your photographs as a professional with the power of open source <[hidden email]> I send one image with the sidecar file created by Digikam (I hope I don't saturate mailbox...). I have tried both switches ('Personal list' and 'Complete list') and I have reset the 'Select Metadata Fields to be displayed' to default values on every tab. I tried also checking every field with the same results... no info in XMP tab. I send you also the JPG image processed from the RAW with Digikam. In this case I can some info in IPTC tab (program, version, date created and time created). But I think I have found another problem: I processed the RAW and saved it as a new version. However, when I select any of the images and show up the versioning window, the versions tab only list the selected image (no relation to the processed image), and the 'Used Filters' is always empty (I have checked that versioning option is checked in the image editing configuration panel). I have used this functionality without problems with Digikam 2.5.0 on OpenSuse 12.1, so, maybe I am still missing something on Gentoo.
