[digiKam-users] Tags written by Gimp not read by digiKam

[Steve Franks]

Have you selected Read from Sidecars on the Configure - digikam, Metadata
Sidecars tab?
RAW files do usually contain XMP data, it's held in associated .XMP files.
N.B. Also tick Sidecar names are compatible with commercial programs.
Hope this helps,
Steve
