Slightly different on my side: I do all the DAM stuff in digikam with JPEGs and let it write the metadata into XMP within JPEGs. (No sidecar.) If I need to reprocess raw files in dt, they have the processing stack in their XMP files and I do not have to worry about collisions with other software. An inevitable trouble is synchronisation between JPEGs and the corresponding raw+xmp files and I handle that with a self-made bash script run from digikam (right-click - open with - operate an all files in directory): x deletion of JPEG moves the obsolete raw file to a new sub-dir (for manual inspection and/or deletion). x new versions of JPEGs exported from dt get the existing metadata from an older version of JPEG and the older JPEG versions get deleted. x the script is based on common base name of file (date&time + order number for burst photos) and suffix for versions by digikam (_v1, _v2, ...) and darktable (_01, _02, ...). x the edited JPEGs (in GIMP, etc.) get different file name endings and are never deleted by the script... br, milan -- http://milan-knizek.net/ About linux and photography (Czech only) O linuxu a fotografování ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
