I spent some time testing digikam with various files and folders, and basically, out of the box it does what I want splendidly.

Part of my motivation is to be able to give someone a set of folders with images and sidecar files, and tell them to install DigiKam, and import the pictures, and have all the sidecar information end up in their database. This is rebuilding the database from the sidecar files. I realize after rebuilding, I would need to set DigiKam back to 'creation mode' after the rebuild.

My main filetypes are TIF, JPG, PNG, PDF, MP3, MP4 and AVI. In other words, I like the speed of a database, but want total assurance the data is in readable sidecar files also. I also want to be able to rebuild my database from the photos plus sidecar files, to repopulate the database with the above information. I want it all in XML based sidecar files. I do not trust embedded information at all. My goal is to have my photos be readable 50-100 years from now.

I want the key data to be written to sidecar files 100% of the time. I have an unusual approach to sidecar files, I presume xmp sidecar files. Hinweis: Dieses Handbuch ist für Lightroom Classic und.
