Are video tags writed in files or only in digikam database ?

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

Video file is problematic until... now.

next release of digiKam as bundle will include Exiv2 0.26 pre release. This
library is used in low level to play with file metadata. Exiv2 0.25
introduced more than one year ago was able to read/write with video files,
but code cannot be used in production yet. A lots of digiKam crash was
generated.

With next 0.26, more than 200 bugfixes have been introduced. Video support
is more stable now.

A work around this problem with current digiKam version is to use XMP
sidecar.

And yes, metadata for video files are always registered in database, in all
cases.

Best
