the captions if you are willing to share. I am not using sidecab files but I will
investigate.</span></font></div>

<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt"> I used to have albums from Picasa, and each album had a little descriptor file, so I wind
up writing a python script that looked for that file and stuffed it into the appropriate field of the
digikam4.db file. But this only covers the album caption. not each photo. Since I store them
inside the JPG, they carried over easily :-)</span></font></div>

<span style=" font-size:10pt">My script can be easily modified to use this album title in the tag/.... of each image in that
album, I've not tried that, but looking at the code, this is straightforward.</span></font></p>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt">If you use the sidecab files (which i don't), it might even be easier, since you an create those
files with python quite easily. Here's a page that might help you getting started

<span style=" font-size:10pt">this way you don't need to play with the db file, but for each JPG you create a JPG.xmp file.</span></font></p>

<span style=" font-size:11pt">What I want to achieve is to set the Title of hundreds (thousands) of photos to
be the folder or album that they are in. So for example, I have folders called
'Holiday 2017', 'Holiday Great Barrier Reef', 'Birthday Party 2015' etc and I
want these names in the image Title tag so I can display them during a
slideshow.</span></font></div>
