Darktable by default will not reread xmp sidecar files. So if you change<br>
something in digikam (ratings, tags) darktable will not show it. I am<br>
not sure if darktable will overwrite all changes. I asked on the<br>
darktable developer list if this will change in near future and I was<br>
told that this (using darktable with digikam or simmilar) is not a<br>
workflow any of the developer is using an with this has a very low priority.<br>
<br>
What is the way digikam handles changes in sidecar files from outside?<br>
<br>
