<p>So npw that Samuel brought this up; what is the best way to
safelu keep that metadata information if one is working with RAW
files?<br>
1. Create a jpeg loaded with all the tags, ranking, etc. from
the RAW in lue of the sidecard?<br>
2. Try to write the metadata to the RAW? (Not recommended)<br>
3. Use sidecards?<br>
4. Use digiKamvs database?</p>

I use option 4, with always some fresh copies around. Not that I
ever needed them, just to be sure. A lot of things can happen not
neccecarilly related to digikam.<br>
Not reading from or storing to pictures speeds op your work.<br>
