[Bug 220545] Cannot write XMP sidecar files
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220545 --- Comment #9 from Andreas Huggel <ahuggel gmx net> 2010-04-01 03:33:09 --- Exiv2 (that without the little 'k' ;) converts a number of Exif tags and IPTC datasets to the XMP sidecar and back. Try it out with the exiv2 command line utility. Gilles is right about the makernote, that is lost. It's also true that I'm not keen to dump the makernote as a large binary blob into an XMP property as exiftool does. It is unlikely that any other application would ever be able to deal with such a blob properly. Instead I suggested to write the _known_ makernote tags as readable properties in new custom namespaces (e.g., like Xmp.Nikon3.WhiteBalance). But that's just an idea at this point, no such code exists yet. > maybe I could first get reading and writing XMP sidecar files supported from a > menu command, and then we can see where we want to go from there? I think that should be possible. In digiKam the main concern is about the workflow and the options to control the handling of XMP sidecars. When it comes to the contents of the sidecar files, you'll need to turn to libexiv2.
