[digiKam-users] unable to remove stars

[frederic chaume]

Hi Maik

you are right , but except the rotation, other star management was 
working well in DK7.2

in fact what I'm looking for is the following scenario:
- using DK for all metadata: import, tagging, geotagging, face 
recognition, title, classification,...
- using DXO only for RAW postprocessing (without changing any tag or 
title,...) and  keeping the information from DK when generating a jpeg

my understing is that the "compatible" option is using an extension for 
the sidecar that can be understood by DXO, in the othercase the RAW.XMP 
is not visible by DXO and then I'm loosing all information from DK
Is my understanding correct ? any advice on best way to proceed ?

thanks for your help
