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

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

I just tested your test photos, and i think i found the reason why the LR
metadata are not backported to DK :

digikam.metaengine: Exiv2 ( 3 ) :  XMP Toolkit error 101: Schema namespace
URI and prefix mismatch
digikam.metaengine: Exiv2 ( 2 ) :  Failed to decode XMP metadata.

These lines are written on the console by Exiv2 library when files are
parsed to be registered in database.

An XMP namespace is badly defined in Exiv2 (the URI use to identify the
namespace). Probably Adobe change the URI as well (which can be a mess).
I'm not yet sure. I continue to search.
