I think digiKam 2.2.0 added XMP sidecars for mts/m2ts files, but doesn't do this anymore in version 2.3.0. Are you sure. There is no difference between 2.2. and 2.3 about XMP sidecar management. Gilles Caulier I'm not 100 % sure. I would have to unistall 2.3.0 and reinstall 2.2.0... and so on. But my mind has a strong belief that I managed to create sidecars for MTS and M2TS files after I had added these file types as "additional movie extensions" in configuration dialog, when using 2.2.0 version. Just tell me should XMP sidecars be created for mts/m2ts files in 2.3.0 version, if I have added these file types in configuration dialog and chosen setting "Write to XMP sidecar only"?! XMP sidecars are nicely written for my photos (CR2, RW2, JPG) but not for my videos. I even tried to add mts/m2ts file types as "additional IMAGE file extensions" with no help. Ananta said he is working to get AVCHD thumbnails to be displayed in future Windows version of DigiKam, but it would be nice to get at least the XMP sidecars to work for mts/m2ts files. Hi, Before everyone starts his/her Christmas holiday, could someone kindly confirm if digiKam is meant to create XMP sidecars for every file type? (I mean file types currently supported and those added in MIME Types -tab of configuration dialog) If XMP sidecars are currently created only for certain file types, are you going to extend this feature in near future for every file type user wants to? I have a continuously growing collection of both digital photos and videos and would like to find a DAM tool for the job shortly. Okay, I tested this with v.2.2.0 digiKam in Windows and it wasn't able to create XMP sidecars for m2ts files. So I remembered probably wrong, when saying (comment #1 above) that v. 2.2.0 created sidecars for video files. yes, in theory, all files can be managed with XMP sidecar files. Gilles Caulier Excuse me Gilles, but could you be more spesific, please? Is it: A) XMP-sidecars are created for every file type user wants to in Linux version of digiKam --> This is Windows version related bug. B) Additional file types are added in Configuration dialog just so they can labeled, keyworded etc. in database ONLY--> XMP-sidecars are created currently only for fully supported still image files. C) Something else?? Hopefully this gets fixed in next release of digiKam! =) yes all files managed by digiKam database.

Do not completely fail load() if the file cannot be read: We should still try the sidecar. In particular, store the file path regardless of success because writing a sidecar may be possible even for unaccessible files M +1 -8 libkexiv2/kexiv2.cpp http://commits.kde.org/libkexiv2/dc5992d18b9c4ff4fb2790187882635592e7b375 *** Bug 290072 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
