What does "Add tags to videos, which creates an XMP file" mean? Are we talking about sidecars? digiKam definitely recognizes XMP tags in videos. Please upload a short sample video. Maik Ok, saving metadata is only possible in the Pro version, I won't buy F-spot now. But they should be sidecars. Have you activated sidecar reading in digiKam? Have you considered that there are different sidecar formats, i.e. BASENAME.EXT.xmp and BASENAME.xmp (mostly commercial programs). Have you selected the corresponding option in the digiKam settings?

The sidecar filename format on F-stop is "image.xmp" Then you need to enable the option for “Sidecar filenames compatible with commercial programs”. After re-reading the metadata, everything will be available.

We already have a bug report as a request to create a configuration for this. But if you don't activate writing metadata with ExifTool and activate "Only in read-only entries" as an option for writing in sidecar, it should work. Read-only means not only that the files are read-only, but also that Exiv2 cannot write this file type.

Thank you so much. |
