[digiKam-users] Lightroom XMP import

[Sylwester Pietrzyk]

Hi,
I’ve been using 5.9 directly downloaded from project site, than 6 beta 3. Then downloaded most recent stable 6 as adviced by you and finally… it seems it was my fault. Reading sidecar XMPs wont work until you set it in app preferences. I’ve checked this box and finally all tags from my large library were nicely read. Thanks a lot! I’ll evaluate DigiKam further, but so far it seems to be really featured packed and great for my needs! As soon as I decide to use it on my daily basis I’ll donate project 😊

Hi,

Which digiKam version do you use ?

Can you try with last stable release just published :

Hi,
I’m new to this list and generally DigiKam world. I’ve been looking for a sensible replacement for my Lightroom 5.x as it is aging badly. I was trying many all in one options like LR, but no solution was perfect. So I decided to take a look at separate DAM and RAW editor solutions. For RAW development Darktable suites my needs best. But its DAM is limited although it reads XMPs created in Lightroom nicely, retaining keywords and even some edits. I was trying to import the same XMPs in DigiKam but without any success. No matter if file extension was .cr2.xmp or just .xmp nothing was imported. I’ve found an information from about middle of 2018 that support for LR created XMPs is under work. Any news on that matter? I’d love to use DigiKam but my 34000 photos library would really love to be searched using keywords :-)


Best regards
Sylwek
