Bug ID: 460064
Summary: Save grouping state (e.g. as "parent item") in the XMP
sidecars to allow transfer between Digikam instances
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version: 7.9.0
Platform: Appimage
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Albums-ItemGroup
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: jens-bugs.kde....@spamfreemail.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY: see $SUBJECT
I use Digikam on a small notebook when abroad or on holiday to tag, describe
and rate my photos taken on the road.
I then rsync these folders to my home PC with the "main" installation of
Digikam. Both installations use XMP sidecars only to store image metadata so
this works quite well.
However, the way I see it neither album settings (which I can live with) nor
image groups survive this transfer because they are *only* stored in the
database. The latter is a pain because I use this feature hevaily.
Can we add a (possibly digikam specific) tag in the XMP sidecar files which,
when set, defines the "parent item" (e.g. by filename) which the current item
is grouped into?
An XMP "derivedFrom" tag exists and could also be used for this purpose but I'm
not sure this is exactly the same thing.
I actually asked this back in 2016 for a completely different use case (Digikam
importer) but it seems nothing has happened since then.
