[digiKam-users] Problem moving images to other albums

digikam-2
DK 7.2.0 appimage on Manjaro KDE (current)

DK root album is: /photos/

My workflow:

1. copy all images from the sd card to: /photos/intake
2. open DK
3. look through the album  /photos/intake, delete the out of focus,
rename from img_0138.cr2 to pano-granville-island-20210412-0138.cr2
(for example)
4. when done, move them to the "proper albums" with "right click >
move to album"

The problem is that DK "forgets" to also move the XMP files
associated with the images. They are left in the /photos/intake
folder and I need to move them manually (no xmp in the destination
album for these images).

BTW, my xmps are filename.xmp (not filename.ext.xmp). I don't know if
this related to that

Can't reproduce the problem, of course sidecars are automatically moved with
the image. Both sidecar formats are supported when copying / moving, i.e.
BASENAME.xmp and BASENAME.EXT.xmp. Are you sure you are using digiKam-7.2.0?
Copy / move support for BASENAME.xmp was only added in this version.  Possibly
activate debug output by setting the environment variable and posting the
output in the terminal of the move process.

Re: Problem moving images to other albums

Maik Qualmann
Another hint, in case the sidecar files already exist from other programs.
digiKam only supports sidecars with the .xmp extension in lower case letters.
Sidecars with .XMP are ignored, not just copying but in general.

Moved: 160 odd images and 7 xmp (lowercase) did not move with the
images.

The debug is at:

https://www.sritch.com/pages/digikam-debug.txt

The 7 xmp files missed are:

The 7 missing xmp files were also not recognized as sidecars by digiKam. I
have no explanation at the moment, since they were not found as sidecars, they
were not moved either, so a problem with the detection.
Please post the source directory list before and after the move.

Hi,

If these files are not moved, what's the difference with the files moved properly. For ex, is the file naming scheme still the same ?

The drive is a removable one ? What's the file system used to store files ?

Best

Re: Problem moving images to other albums

Maik Qualmann
There must be a difference in the base name of the image and the sidecar if it
is not moved. May be case sensitive if the images are on a drive with Windows
file system. Please check it out.

filename: cyclists-20210603-0928.cr2 (all lowercase),
