[digiKam-users] Importing xmp data from Lightroom 4.4 to Digikam 5.5.0

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

Normally, LR metadata must be backported to DK. The rules are there, i
implemented myself the code. When i said LR metadata, i want mean all that
DK can understand from this application.

Can you share some files (CR2 + XMP sidecars) to see if i can reproduce the
problem.

Thanks in advance
