[Digikam-users] Importing XMP sidecar files automatically

[Kerry Kirk]

It isn't that the data isn't being added.  The keywords are in
Xmp.dc.subject and Xmp.lr.hierarchicalSubject sections.  One, the other or
both seemed to be picked up by Digikam just fine when I click on each photo
individually and go through the steps above.  I am hoping to find a way to
get the program to scan all of the xmp files for all of the photos I choose
and add the data to the images.  Hoping not to have to go through all 8000+
photos individually.
