[digiKam-users] sidecar settings

[frederic chaume]

Hi Gilles


my mistake, was trying with CTRL+F1 instead of SHIFT+F1 🙁

now sidecars file are named basename.xmp (instead of basename.ORF.xmp) 
and are recognized by DXO and Lightroom , so for example setting 2* in 
DK is visible in DXO and Lightroom. But the reverse seems not possible 
(changing the rating  in DXO or lightroom , doesn't change the rating in 
DK (unless I missed something))

below an extract of the XMP modified by lightroom today. (initial rating 
was 2 from DK, then setting rating to 3 in lightroom)

acdsee:caption="Abandonné"
    acdsee:notes="un canot abandonné au port du Prat à l'ile-grande"
*acdsee:rating="2"*
.....
    xmp:ModifyDate="2021-03-21T16:09:13"
*xmp:Rating="3"*
    xmp:CreateDate="2021-03-21T16:09:13"
    xmp:CreatorTool="Version 1.3                    "
    xmp:MetadataDate="2021-04-10T09:21:34+02:00"

and another update after setting rating to 4 in DK

*acdsee:rating="4"*
    acdsee:caption="Abandonné"
    acdsee:notes="un canot abandonné au port du Prat à l'ile-grande"
....
    xmp:CreatorTool="Version 1.3                    "
    xmp:MetadataDate="2021-04-10T09:21:34+02:00"
    xmp:ModifyDate="2021-03-21T16:09:13"
*xmp:Rating="4"*
    xmp:CreateDate="2021-03-21T16:09:13"

my understanding is that ,

- DK is updating "acdsee" and "xmp" fields, which are read by DXO and 
Lightroom
- DXO and Lightroom are updating only "xmp" fields
- DK only read "acdsee" fields

is my understanding correct ? is there a way to share the same fields ?

another question: as I just set the option "associated  filename are 
compatible with commercial programm" , all the sidecars are still named 
with non compatible format until I will make an update. Is there a way 
to create all the basename.xmp files for the complete database ?


thanks
