[Digikam-users] Digikam Color label and Photoshop urgency

[Photonoxx]

Hi,

There's a long time ago, I post a message about Color label cross  
compatibility with the Software I use for edit my NEF files Capture NX 2.

I give some infos, but with the time and no more answer, I forgot it but  
the cross compatibility still miss.

The matter is Capture NX doesn't use exactly the same color and seems to  
write the Xmp.xmp.Label  color name in french (except if it's hardcoded in  
exiv2 to return color name in local language but I've some doubts...).

At less, Capture NX use alternative Xmp.photoshop.Urgency for color label,  
and I would like to know if it would be possible to take in count this xmp  
tag in digikam as a color label source (read and write it) or does the  
fact colors are not the same is a sufficient reason to not doing that ?

Here, a copy of terminal output with exiv2 -PX option for each kind of  
color label
