--- Comment #5 from mau <b-misc at gmx.ch> ---
Yesterday I ran into the same problem:
In the past I had geo-located many but not all photos and yesterday I began
correcting some wrong geo tags and setting missing ones. For the initial test
as well as most images that seemed to work fine, but at some point in time I
realized, that there are images where digikam shows the corrected gps data, but
the xmp files are not updated correctly. Furthermore there might be a bug that
gps data is written into the jpg although I've set it to write to metadata
only.

I tried to get the gps data in the sidecar files by both Write Metadata to File
and by using the Maintenance Tool, but neither of them worked.

Now I wonder how I can check that all gps tags are written correctly to the
xmp's - yesterday I loaded test files into darktable, but that's not perfect
and doesn't scale that well... And the fact that gps coordinates can be
specified in different formats doesn't help either, converting them isn't that
much fun...

Is there a way to force digikam to write the gps data into the xmp files, maybe
on the command line? Another idea for a workaround?

Do you need more info or is there another way I can help?

My settings: write all metadata to sidecar files only.
My version: digikam 4.4 on Debian Jessie (4.14 in jessie-backports misses gps
support completely, but that's a different problem).
