I'm considering switching from Apple's iPhoto to DigiKam. Now the question is, how to get my images out of iPhoto and into DigiKam. It would be extremely helpful if DigiKam would have an importer which would import the iPhoto picture library. This would also involve importing (possibly adding as exif to the images) the additional information (comments, etc) that iPhoto does not store in the images itself but internally. This task is actually not that difficult, as iPhoto provides a file called AlbumData.xml which contains all necessary information as to which images are in which album and have which comments.
