XMP Sidecar usage
 
|
Hi!
I have a question about digikam and xmp sidecars files usage. In the options, i've chose "read metadata from xmp sidecars" and "write to XMP sidecar only". In the metadata sidebar, I now have only the metadata I've modified (including for files newly imported with Digikam importer). My questions: - Is this behavior normal? - Is there a way to update XMP sidecar files, from the image metadata ? for the selected image(s) and/or for the whole database? - is there a way to copy the metadata from XMP sidecar to image file, for example to give pictures to a friend? (Is that what "Image > write metadata to image" does? Or does it write metadata in the medium chosen in the options (in my case, only XMP sidecar) ?) Thanks for your help, I confess I'm a bit confused. By the way, I use Digikam 2.1.1 Olivier _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Hi!Sorry Olivier, I think we all are. The sidecar functions not always as expected. I think it is still under construction. Rinus

The sidecar functions not always as > expected. I think it is still under construction. yes, it is. I don't finalized soem parts with XMP side car support. At least, import to database is implemented. Writting is implemented. moving, renaming, copying, sidecar with original file is NOT implemented. This entry still open in bugzilla, look my comment : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220545#c67 Note : i will add an "experimental" annotation to xmp support options in Metadata settings dialog.
