[Digikam-users] Read/Write to sidecar files is grayed out (Digikam 2.6.0 on Gentoo)

[Gilles Caulier]

As usual, look into source code to see the reason :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/repository/revisions/master/entry/utilities/setup/setupmetadata.cpp#L239

Your Exiv2 shared library is not compiled with XMP support (it's optional)...
