There is something which would be very nice if it could be handled in digikam, but is probably very complicated...
Nikon's Software supports different settings for the raw file inside the raw file itself (so you have 1x raw data and 1,2,3 or even more different sets of other data which is then applied on the fly)
The data is part of the exif (or similiar data) - some guy (sorry can't remember who) showed me a webpage which contained all that data which he said could be used somehow. The data consists of white balance, unsharp mask settings, noise reduction settings, tonal curves, and many more. It would be very nice if the simpler of those settings could be used. The data can be stored in different sets inside the .nef file. As standard there is just the default set. It would be very very good if digiKam could store all the settings inside that file that you used for saving the last jpeg, so you can, if you want, still change the settings of the curves etc. - in fact it would be very nice if you could change the curves and they keep at their position, and the data is applied on the fly, so you dont lose image data - until the file is saved to jpeg, and/or the data is stored back to the raw files "last saved" set.
