I think you can use exiftool to put the metadata back into your
picture and from there digikam can read it again.<br>

can get digikam to read and commit to the database what is in
the xmp sidecar. I'm only trying to read the tags that I created
and ratings that I assigned. These fields I can't even read with
the single image read from xmp process.

<div>BTW in the Captions and Tags sidebar, right at the bottom
there is a "More" button that you can use to read metadata
from all selected images. Or rather, I think that's what it's
supposed to do, as this option also does not work for me.<br>

<br>
One bad thing when I try this option, is Metadatas
seems to be read from XMP side car file, but, as EXIF
are not wrote in these files, the Exif orientation are
not read, and a lot of picture doesn't have the right
orientation, but metadata seems to be read from XMP
file.<br>

With that option set the results are here even worse than
without.<br>

<br>
Thanks for the offer to help.<br>
<br>
I'm using digikam version 2.0 from Phillip's ppa
on ubuntu 11.04.<br>
<br>
Writing to xmp sidecar definitely works. I can
open the xmp file in a text<br>
editor and see the tags and rating that I created
in digikam. The problem<br>
seems to be reading this information back from the
xmp into the digikam<br>
database.<br>

Things might have been improved. I am going to

Hi,<br>
<br>
I have folders where digikam wrote tags to xmp
sidecar files for all<br>
image files. I subsequently created a new
database and now I want to add<br>
these folders to digikam as a collection, with
the expectation that the tags<br>
will be read from the sidecar files. However,
this does not happen. Even<br>
when I use Image>Metadata>Import XMP...
for a specific image, the tags are<br>
not read.<br>
<br>
Is there a way to get the tags from the sidecar
files into the digikam<br>
database?<br>
<br>
Gys<br>
