[Digikam-devel] Digikam and XMP sidecard

[Bruno Metz]

Hello,

My name is Bruno, i am a French expert photographer with almost 50 000 RAW pictures taking during 8 years. It represent almost 150Go. I am currently willing to move from my current windows / lighthroom configuration to Ubuntu / Digikam solution

During the importation process, the RAW files are readed properly. It seems that the XMP cards for those file are not imported during the process. i tried to find some ways to do it but could not find any on the web. Could you help me on this ?

More generaly, as i am having the RAW files, i need to work with the sidecard concept. Assuming that the previous action can be done or after having keyed in some data directly with DigiKam, is there therefore a solution to export the data to new XMP sidecard ? if yes, i am forseeing a potential issue about how to merge/compile the info when a previous sidecard is already here.

Last question, is there a way to go into a non-destructive solution when transforming the file from RAW to JPEG ? i find this option really interesting as it allows to change/update any crop/color/etc... process applied to the pictures easy to readjust when needed.

Note that i would be happy to discsuss further on these topics and been part of your developement team if you need someone with a more user/photographer view.

thanks
Bruno Metz
