[Digikam-users] Reading tags from XMP sidecar files

[Gys van Zyl]

Hi Rinus,

Thanks for the offer to help.

I'm using digikam version 2.0 from Phillip's ppa on ubuntu 11.04.

Writing to xmp sidecar definitely works. I can open the xmp file in a text
editor and see the tags and rating that I created in digikam. The problem
seems to be reading this information back from the xmp into the digikam
database.
