Yeah, that was a detour..

I have all my images sorted in folders by date. Then have metadata in
db and xmp-sidecar files.

One way is to have the metadata in the image files but as that's
experimental for raw it seems not be an option. I'm also against to
alter the image files in general so...

xmp-sidecar is the prefered way for me. Unfortunately there is no
standard way there.

On the other hand there will probably not be an abrupt discontinuation
of the used software so one might migrate over time.
