[digiKam-users] Sidecars

Ramnarayan.K
Hello 
Am using Linux Mint 20, Digikam 6.4.0 (target Debian)

I primarily use digikam to import and organize my Nikon DSLR Raw (.NEF) images.

My question is what are sidecars ?


What is the best option for me to select  when enabling sidecars so that i could append metadata that will then be available when i export to jpeg / png (etc)

Ideally my meta data would include (Geolocation, some / many tags like birds, flowers etc or even more specific binomial scientific names)

The targets are websites like inaturalist.org and ebird.org - which pick up metadata to geolocate pictures or even identify the creature from meta data .

Currently I enter the geolocation manually for pictures I am uploading.

Thanks
Ram
