Hi Petr, Can you share one of the .xmp files? I think this will help identifying the issue. Cheers, Mike
Hi Michael, here it is > https://share.schonmann.eu/5d1j3k.txt Thanks.
In principle, digiKam does everything right using the XMP file. The face metadata of the people's names is always stored flat, the standard does not known a hierarchy. To enable a hierarchy, digiKam also stores the people's name tags in the tag metadata. A hierarchy can be stored in the digikamTagsList or in the hierarchical LR tag, for example. In your xmp file, however, these do not contain the people tag at the beginning, which is why they are stored outside. At some point this metadata was stored like this, perhaps by another program or digiKam did not have a people tag? We already have a bug report on this topic. We cannot simply "beam" these people's names under the people tag, as other users may want to organize people completely differently. Maik
