>From what I understand from this bug report is that exiftool need to be enabled
to be able to write metadata to jxl files, right?!?
If that's the case, I think that the handling of Digikam of this requirement is
not very well done (and I'm happy to open a bug report if needed...)
I'm using v8.1 AppImage on Kubuntu.
Since a long time, I used to tag jpg files and it is working well **with
"Delegate to ExifTool backend all operations to write metadata to files" not
enabled**
I don't know what is default value of this setting and what is the recommended
state but now I have jxl files and I discovered after tagging hundreds of files
that the metadata are not stored in the files for jxl files!!!
So I think that the current behavior is not good because even if the user
explicitly asked that the metadata to be written in the files, that is not done
without being informed.
I thinks that Digikam should at least inform the user once every working
session that metadata are not written because Digikam does not support it and
maybe should inform to turn on exiftool option. Or if exiftool is installed
fallback using it (maybe also with a message).
Tell me if you want me to create a bug report.
PS: Is it better to use exiftool as backend? Because the settings UI inform
about "write limitations"....
