Lightroom to DigiKam: reading xmp files

[Mica Semrick]

One solution might by symlinking file.xmp to file.ext.xmp.

You could also try darktable for editing, which also uses file.ext.xmp for sidecar files.

IMO, the xmp spec is silly for allowing multiple files per sidecar and for not including the native file extension.
