elements
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version First 8.8.0
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux

log for exiftool
SUMMARY
Exiftool does not create sidecar files for readonly elements
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In the settings in the tab "Metadata -> Sidecars" selected option "Write to
XMP sidecars only for read-only items"
1. In the settings in the tab "Metadata -> Behavior" selected option "Delegate
to Exiftool all operations to write metadata to files"
3. Try to edit metadata in some readonly file, for example, mkv.
OBSERVED RESULT
Exiftool tryes write to file itself, but cant. Sidecar file not created (see
exiftool.log)
EXPECTED RESULT
Side car should be created. For example, if I uncheck "Delegate to Exiftool all
operations to write metadata to files" (so that exiv2 will be used), then
sidecar file is created (see exiv2.log)
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.22.0
Qt Version: 6.10.1
Kernel Version: 6.12.65-1-lts (64-bit)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There's a similar bug #492849. But it doesn't seem to be related to this
report, because in my case, the option "Sidecar file names are compatible..."
doesn't affect anything. The file still isn't created.
