[Digikam-users] Interoperability with Darktable

[HaJo Schatz]

My workflow stats with darktable to develop, choose keepers. Then to
Digikam for tagging/archiving and back to darktable for export.

For darktable to pick up the Digikam metadata, I remove the pics and add
the folder again. Hence they get re-read and carry the metadata.

Digikam has a function to re-read metadata from file but in my experience
doesn't pick up all the darktable-written data nicely. Hence I tag in
Digikam.
