Let me start off by thanking the authors for this software. I used iPhoto a long time ago before it was migrated to Photos. iPhoto was pretty good, but Photos is not. The DAM (digital assets management) of Photos is awful compared to iPhoto. In my research, Digikam seems to have really good DAM which is one of my main needs for photo software. So, I'm in the process of moving my 40,000+ photo library of personal photos and videos dating back from 1998 to Digikam. I have converted about 6 months to Digikam and the results are great so far. I plan on converting the entire photo library over to using Digikam and being rid of Photos.
My long term goal is to have everything categorized for easy search. I currently do this by making sure all the faces are labeled in each photo, giving the photos a star rating, and making sure the data info is correct on each photo. I can easily do all this through Digikam and view it accordingly. However, I would like this same viewing capability of the photos on my iPhone/iPad. Right now, I have the photos organized by date in the filesystem. So, I simply copy over the directories (ex: 2020-12-25) to the Apple devices. The problem I'm having is that it does not seem to really pick up the face or rating data on the iPhone/iPad. I'm not sure if this is something I'm doing wrong or if Apple simply does not follow some standard that Digikam is using. Maybe I need to put that data in a different spot...I don't know.
Is anyone doing something similar or have any ideas on how to get the face and rating data working on Apple devices?
