[digiKam-users] Lightroom XMP import
 
|
Hi, I’m new to this list and generally DigiKam world. I’ve been looking for a sensible replacement for my Lightroom 5.x as it is aging badly. I was trying many all in one options like LR, but no solution was perfect. So I
decided to take a look at separate DAM and RAW editor solutions. For RAW development Darktable suites my needs best. But its DAM is limited although it reads XMPs created in Lightroom nicely, retaining keywords and even some edits. I was trying to import the
same XMPs in DigiKam but without any success. No matter if file extension was .cr2.xmp or just .xmp nothing was imported. I’ve found an information from about middle of 2018 that support for LR created XMPs is under work. Any news on that matter? I’d love
to use DigiKam but my 34000 photos library would really love to be searched using keywords :-) Best regards Sylwek |

Hi, Which digiKam version do you use ? Can you try with last stable release just published : Gilles Caulier Le mar. 12 févr. 2019 à 16:29, Sylwester Pietrzyk <[hidden email]> a écrit :

Hi, I’ve been using 5.9 directly downloaded from project site, than 6 beta 3. Then downloaded most recent stable 6 as adviced by you and finally… it seems it was my fault. Reading sidecar XMPs wont work until you set it in
app preferences. I’ve checked this box and finally all tags from my large library were nicely read. Thanks a lot! I’ll evaluate DigiKam further, but so far it seems to be really featured packed and great for my needs! As soon as I decide to use it on my daily
basis I’ll donate project 😊 BR Sylwek From:

I'm also interested in having digiKam read my Lightroom sidecar files.
I've downloaded the new 6.0 image and it appears to be working for me. Is it somehow possible to show all the images in the sub folders when clicking on the root? For instance, I have monthly folders with individual day folders beneath and would like to see the whole months images when clicking on the month. This is something else in Lightroom that I find very handy. Thanks for fixing the Google Maps integration! (I actually paid for the last LR upgrade just so I could get the fix for that too.) -- Sent from: http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/digikam-users-f1735189.html |

DigiKam-6.0.0 automatically reads the sidecars first if they are in LR format.

yes, there's a setting for this: go to Menu View and select "include

Hi, I’m at the beginning of transition from LR, but so far DigiKam seems like a very nice contender regarding library management/organisation. You can view items from subfolders by selecting „View à Include album sub-tree” menu option. DigiKam will remember this option (unlike Bridge) which is handy too :-)

That's great!
10 minutes after my initial post I found the Dates view. That worked in a similar way so I was quite happy with that as well. Very nice to have both options! John -- Sent from: http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/digikam-users-f1735189.html |
