What is the current best practice for managing movies with digikam.
I could not find anything specific on the online manual.<br>
<br>
On my system -- Ubuntu 14.04 64bit with Mate Desktop -- the videos
can be run ok and each video has a thumbnail. In particular I am
interested in storage of metadata. I don't want to store metadata in
the video file but in an associated XMP file. <br>
<br>
If I tag a video however and open the associated XMP file the tags
are not present. I have a message <b><?xpacket begin=""
id="W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d"?> </b>instead. The metadata is
stored but only in the database. There seems no option for exporting
the metadata to the XMP file. I don't mind having the data in the
database but want a complete XMP file as an additional safety
measure. In the past with my images if the database becomes corrupt
I create a new database and import the XMP data back into the
database. When tagging videos I would not be able to do this.<br>
<br>
Any feedback would be appreciated.<br>
