Hello.

I have turned on reading metadata from XMP files and writing XMP sidecar files.
It seems that in this case Digikam reads EXIF from the image only if there is
no XPM sidecar file. As soon as such file corresponding to the image is created
Digikam prefers to read metadata from it and doesn't read EXIF from original
image. At least there is almost no EXIF information in the sidebar. When I
delete XMP file or turn off reading metadata from XMP files all EXIF is shown
again.

I apologize if this behaviour is already known.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Turn on reading metadata from XMP sidecar file and create corresponding file.



OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.37.6-0.5-default
