I'm actually glad that darktable doesn't mess with my raws -- I don't want a potentially buggy implementation to mess up my photographs. Under no circumstance -- who knows whether I only find it out once it's too late. If I need my metadata in the raw file itself (at least for DNGs), it's actually only a call of exiv2 away -- exiv2 can easily write the data from the XMP to the DNG. I guess you could easily automate this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
