<p>Thanks Steve.</p>
<p>I had sent a detailed response to Remco with some screenshots.
This response is still pending moderator's approval, I guess
because it had many attachments. Is there any other way of sharing
images? <br>
</p>
<p>I think digiKam writes tag information to the tiff file itself. I
haven't seen any sidecar (xmp) files being created for tiff files,
though they get created for .pef and .arw files. In any case I
have ticked options, "Read from sidecar files, Write to sidecar
files (Write to XMP sidecar for read-only item only) and Sidecar
files are compatible with commercial programs."</p>
<p>HTH.<br>

Have you selected Read from Sidecars on the Configure - digikam, Metadata
Sidecars tab?
RAW files do usually contain XMP data, it's held in associated .XMP files.
N.B. Also tick Sidecar names are compatible with commercial programs.
Hope this helps,
Steve

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Can digiKam read tags written by Gimp? I have catalogs in digiKam which
contain RAW (PEF, ARW, DNG) images These files are tagged using digiKam
tags. I copy selected files to a different folder for editing in Gimp.
After editing these image in Gimp, I add some tags to the images in
Gimp. After adding the tags, I export these files as a tiff files.
However, when I add the files to the digiKam catalog, these tags are
missing. However, these tags can be seen in Exifview. I also tried the
option to "read tags from file option" in digiKam. Still these tags are
ignored. Is there an option that I need to turn on?

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Which metadata tags are added by Gimp? Not the keywords/tags as you write
them, but the metadata tag names as shown by Exifview (e.g. with EXIV2 ,I
see
Xmp.lr.hierarchicalSubject storing my keywords, but so do
Xmp.MicrosoftPhoto.LastKeywordXMP and Xmp.mediapro.CatalogSets;
there are four tags that contain the description I added...)
There are a lot of semi-standard tag names and name spaces used to store
keywords, and by default Digikam only reads some of them.
