            Bug ID: 301484
          Severity: wishlist
           Version: 2.6.0
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
           Summary: synchronize metadata with files produced from external
                    raw converter.
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: danni.coy at gmail.com
          Hardware: Compiled Sources
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: Import
           Product: digikam

I would like if there was an option to match any image being added to the
collection to a raw file with the same name (sans extension) and same timestamp
and copy additional metadata (tags,rating,comments etc) to that image from the
raw image.

I am currently using a camera which the raw files are not supported by digikam
and it would cut down on a lot of work not having to copy this metadata
manually


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. tag a raw file with tags and rating
2. use external raw converter (in my case Sigma Photo Pro) to produce a jpg or
tiff file in a folder that digikam watches.
3. wait for image to show up in digikam
Actual Results:  
digikam treats the image as a new image any metadata needs to be manually
copied from the original raw file.

Expected Results:  
digikam smartly checks to see if there is a raw file with the same name that
was taken at the same time and copies that metadata to the new image.
