Description anttiah 2011-12-29 09:30:33 UTC

Version:           2.3.0 (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                MS Windows

Currently digiKam can be configured to add all metadata only in XMP sidecar files (in addition to digiKam's database). 

If user then adds new file types in MIME-types section of configuration dialog, metadata for these added file types is stored only in digiKam's DATABASE. XMP sidecars are not created at all for these file types. It would be also safer to have metadata in two places - sidecars and database.

Add option to create XMP sidecars for any file type user wants to. Hopefully this is not a hard to implement feature!
