Digikam raw files and darktable

[Juan Jose Casafranca]

Hi everybody, 

I would like to know if there is any easy way to use digikam as a photo 
management software and use darktable for raw editing.

The main issue I'm finding when I try to do this is this one
-Raw thumbnails are loaded from the jpeg embeded file and when I change process 
my photo in darktable, this thumbnail isn't changed in digikam

It would be nice that digikam reads the darktable sidecar and uses an specified 
software (or digikam editor tool if no software is specified) to load the 
preview file for raw pictures. Is there any way to do this?

If there's no such way to do this, I will be happy to post it in the 
developers mailing list and try to implement it, because I feel that darktable 
management features are far away from digikam ones and digikam editor features 
are far away from darktable ones. It would be nice to have both softwares 
working together :-)

Any idea?
