[Digikam-users] digikam does not read all xmp metadata

Hi all,

I've just tried digikam 2.6.0 and wanted to know if it can read
xmp-metadata. Unfortunatly it only works partly.
Metadata in the exif, dc and iptc format are read (like GPS,
IPTC-Location, description etc.)
Metadata in the xmp and lightroom namespace are not read, like rating
and - most important-  keywords (hierachicalSubject).
I've ticked the "read sidecar' in the settings. Is there anything else I
have to do to be able to access my metadata from other applications
(stored in xmp-sidecar files) or is this a bug?

Thanks for your help!

Jan
