Hello David,

Could you please be a bit more explicit ?
You say « write THE metadata to images », but the metadata coming from
where ?
If it's current metadata from your Digikam DB, you don't need a script at
all, the Tools menu provides the Write metadata to All images.

Or do you use xmp sidecar files along your images, and look for a script
to extract data from sidecar files and write to images ?

Jean-François
