[Digikam-users] Reading tags from XMP sidecar files

[Photonoxx]

Have you check the option to read metadata from XMP side car files in the  
"Metadata tab" of Digikam settings ?

One bad thing when I try this option, is Metadatas seems to be read from  
XMP side car file, but, as EXIF are not wrote in these files, the Exif  
orientation are not read, and a lot of picture doesn't have the right  
orientation, but metadata seems to be read from XMP file.
