[Digikam-users] No EXIF/XMP info in "Metadata" sideview

[Gian Paolo Sanino Vattier]

Jean-Pierre and Peter, did you try with "Images / reRead Metadata from
image". I recall having something like what you described (DK 4.2.0 and
OpenSuse13.1), and I got the metadata right sideview displayed normally
after using this option on the menu.

Also, had some issues with thumbnails not being shown, that I solved by
deleting thumbnails-digikam.db and letting it sit a couple of hours
generating them again.

Hope this helps on your case.
