           Summary: XMP sidecars not written for M2TS and MTS video files
           Product: digikam
           Version: 2.3.0
          Platform: MS Windows
        OS/Version: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Sidecar Management
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: anttiah at netti.fi


Version:           2.3.0 (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                MS Windows

I have added m2ts and mts file types as additional movie file extensions in
confuguration dialog (MIME Types). I have chosen "Write to XMP sidecar only"
mode on Metadata tab of configuration dialog. It seems that I really can't get
digiKam to create XMP sidecars for my m2ts video files.

XMP sidecars are created for my image file types (jpg, rw2, cr2) but not for my
videos. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Install digiKam 2.3.0 in Windows 7 64 bit and try to add XMP sidecars to your
m2ts or mts video files.

Actual Results:  
All metadata (tags (=keywords), title, caption, pick label, color label,
rating) is apparently stored only in digiKam database - not in sidecars for
m2ts/mts files.

Expected Results:  
DigiKam should create XMP sidecars for mt2ts/mts video files (AVCHD) also.

I'm not sure if digiKam is meant to store metadata in XMP sidecars also for
video files. So my report above is a bug or a feature request. I really hope
digiKam could add XMP sidecars to any file type you like. =)
