ACDSee keeps metadata in its proprietary database by default.
However, it has a command to embed them in picture files. So overall
this should be doable.<br>
<br>
The only issue is whether some tags are used for the same purpose in
DigiKam and ACDSee. In particular, ACDSee uses hierarchical
categories---one of the most interesting features about ACDSee.
Since no metadata model allows for this as standard, they use a
fudge that I would not expect any other software to read. On a large
collection, that would be a tedious manual process, unless you were
good at scripting a text parser.<br>
