[Digikam-users] Copying metadata from one image to another?

[Elle Stone]

You can use exiftool. I give an example of using exiftool to copy
digiKam metadata from a jpeg "pseudo-sidecar" over to the
corresponding raw file (in this case, an old Minolta d7 camera "mrw";
a canon would be "cr2", etc) here:

The command should be easy enough to modify to copy from raw file to
converted image.
