[Digikam-users] xmp and shortcuts

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

This topic have been already discuted in bugzilla.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=278935

The short response is no. Why. it's simple: digiKam use the full
qualified name (file name + extension) to prevent any problem if both
file name exist in same directly. Typical case is JPEG + RAW :

- imagename.cr2
- imagename.jpg

How to differentiate XMP sidecar files which is assigned to JPEG and
to RAW ? It's impossible with Rawtherape way. For me it's a severe
dysfunction, and we don't change this behavior in digiKam.

Ask to Rawtherape team to implement a more safe way, with the
possibility to switch on old to new behavior.

Best
