[digiKam-users] Import category list into Digikam

[Steve Franks]

The import should be automatic.
Have you done:-
1) In Imatch - Writeback Metadata for all pending files? (Shift Alt S) This
will store your category data in JPEGs, some RAW formats and create .xmp
files where it cannot imbed the data.
2) In Digikam - refresh your Album(s).
That should do what you need to do.
