Description Japs 2014-11-22 21:34:40 UTC

I find digikam to be the best program out there for managing large libraries of pictures, tagging and organising them. The image editor is also very good when working with raster graphics.
However, I find darktable to be a lot more practical for editing raw files, which currently are the majority in my library.

It would be extremely handy to have the option to tell digikam to offload all raw editing to darktable, yet maintain the possibility to preview the images in digikam. 
In practice, this would require to wrap whatever darktable uses to generate the thumbnails from the raw files + sidecar xmp files in a kde widget. Then digikam would have to use that widget to display its own thumbnails. Finally, opening the editor on a raw file would fire up an instance of darktable.

Integrating digikam and darktable we could have the best of both worlds: awesome metadata management and nondestructive raw workflow.

Reproducible: Always

Sound like a very complex task out of scope of digiKam project.
