[Digikam-users] preserving metadata when moving a raw file from one DK to another

[jon piesing]

Hi,


I've been using XMP sidecars to move raw files with captions from one DK installation to another.
It mostly worked (and got better as XMP bugs were fixed) but now it's getting worse again.
DK ignores the caption in the XMP and instead inserts "Sony DSC" (these are Sony raw files).

I guess it's reading a default caption Sony insert in the raw file in preference to the XMP file.

Is there any way to get DK to ignore the caption in the RAW file?

If not, is there any other way to move a RAW file with a caption from one instance of DK to another?

Thanks


Jon
