Well, for metadata, in digiKam 7.3.0 we have introduced the ExifTool support.
For the moment, we implement a parser and a process controller to run ExifTool
to run the main operations with metadata.

A ExifTool view have been added to Metadata viewer on the sidebar. This allow
to compare and support non Exiv2 files and non Exif, Makernotes, Iptc, and Xmp
tags.

We do not plan to replace Exiv2 by ExifTool for performance reasons, but in
special cases, ExifTool will be an helper, as to write to RAW and Video, and
for ex to support modern image containers as JPEG XL.

Here you can see a screenshot of ExifTool Viever operating on FITS astro photo
file format (not supported by Exiv2 of course).
