<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Maik,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Selecting "write to XMP sidecar for read-only item only" works. Metadata is written directly to jpegs and XMP files are created for raw (rw2) files. However, if a jpeg is selected and "Item>Reread Metadata from file" applied, the jpeg will
then display the metadata from the XMP file for the raw file. It only displays it in the preview pane (internal database?) but does not update (write out to) the jpeg.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Should this happen? If I change the jpeg metadata in another app and wish to update digikam’s database I would want to update with the jpeg metadata not the metadata for the raw file. Or, if a jpeg (or several) is left selected and scrolled
out of view of the preview pane I would not want it (them) updated with a raw file's metadata. I hope I'm explaining this correctly. Can this be fixed? Thanks.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hi Alan,<br>
<br>
my first question is, why are you still on digiKam-6.4.0? We are now about to <br>
release digiKam-7.2.0 (<a href="https://files.kde.org/digikam/">https://files.kde.org/digikam/</a>). Windows support in
<br>
particular has also been significantly improved in the 7.x.x versions.<br>
<br>
To your question: Simply select in the metadata settings for sidecar that you <br>
only have sidecar files for items that can only be read. Read only does not <br>
only mean files that are write-protected, but also RAW files.<br>
