I’ve already done what you said and it worked just fine for

In the DigiKam documentation, there is mention of that
possibility by using an XMP file. However, Fototime only
exports its data in XML or CSV format. Attached is the
data from Fototime for just a single folder in XML format.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span

<br>
I did the exact same migration for the same reason, about
one year ago. I did not ask Fototime to export anything, I
just told Digikam where the photos were stored and let him
fetch the data. By default, Fototime stores the data in the
pictures themselves, so Digikam has no problem finding it.
You could simply try what I did and see what you get. The
only thing which could go wrong is accents in the tags.<br>
