[digiKam-users] XMP sidecar

[leoutation at gmx.fr]

Hi
Some questions about XMP.
I only use XMP sidecar metadata, never exif or else. I select read +
write sidecar files.
Option 'write to item and XMP sidecar': does it really write to image
files? I see this setting updates or creates XMP files but it doesnt
modify image file. In this case what 'item' means, what's different with
'write to XMP sidecar only' ?
Greetings
