[digiKam-users] Digikam 6.4.0 do not support XMP sidecar from Mac OS Photos ?

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

Run digiKam from a Terminal. Look instructions from this page for MacOS :

https://www.digikam.org/contribute/

... and post the trace from the console here, when you try to play with
sidecar.

Q : your collection of photos are in local hard drive or from a remote one ?

Best
