Lightroom to DigiKam: reading xmp files

[Andrey Goreev]

Either Ubuntu or openSUSE terminals can be installed in Windows 10 so a file renaming script should work there too.

No solution within Digikam afaik, but there are utilities to do bulk renaming.
Or, at least under Linux, a shell script can do the job quite easily. 

No idea how to attack it under MS-Windows, though, unless you can do a bulk 
rename where you replace one extension by another (in your case: ".xmp" => 
".orf.xmp").
