[Digikam-users] Why does digikam not read .xmp sidecar files (was: Import existing nested tags to digikam)

[Jan Köster]

Hi,

after playing around a little bit I could find out that digikam is able
to read in my old hierachical tagging stored in .xmp sidecar files. But
you have to click "Image"->"Metadata"->"Import xmp" for every single
picture.
Digikam does not read any xmp although it is set in the settings. I know
that reading metadata from xmp sidecar is experimental but I wondering a
bit that these files are completely ignored. 
Did anybody successfully read metadata for xmp sidecar files? Any advice
would be greatly appreciated.
