           Summary: XMP sidecar file does not distinguish between images
                    of the same name but with different extension
           Product: digikam
           Version: 2.0.0
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Metadata
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: knizek at volny.cz


Version:           2.0.0 (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux

In digiKam 2.0.0 (trunk), the XMP sidecar files with metadata is saved with a
pattern "image_base_name".xmp. This leads to situation, when image.crw,
image.jpg, image.cr2, etc. have to share the same metadata.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
It would be better to use XMP filename "image_base_name.ext.xmp".

If someone argues that image.cr2 and image.jpg are variants of the same image,
then there could be a switch in digiKam settings to allow both types of naming
convention.
