[Digikam-users] Tags not written to XMP sidecar?

[Anders Kamf]

Hi!

I have the setting "Write to sidecar files": "Write to XMP sidecar file for
read-only image only", which creates xmp sidecar files for the movie files
that are in my collection.
Now, I thought that this would mean that the tags applied to those movies
was written to the XMP sidecar file. But that seems not to be the case! I
now realise that at least neither exiv2 nor exiftool finds those tags.
Also, when I access the file from "another" digikam on another computer, no
metadata seems to be found.

If this is true, it means that all metadata for those files have been lost
when I have moved the files outside Digikam (to another server), which
truly is a sad awakening.

Is this the intended behaviour, or is it a bug? Or am I doing something
wrong (a user-fault...)?

I'm using digikam 4.14.10 on Ubuntu 15.10.

Best regards
Anders
