            Bug ID: 481755
           Summary: exiftool not used as backend even when configured in
                    settings
    Classification: Applications
           Product: digikam
           Version: 8.3.0
          Platform: Microsoft Windows
                OS: Microsoft Windows
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Metadata-Engine
          Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: betoke...@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
***
"Delegate do exiftool backend all operations to write metadata to files" is
marked but digikam will still use Exiv2.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable exiftool backend to write metadata
2. Bouce digikam (necessary?)
3. Write metadata to a file

OBSERVED RESULT
>From debugview:
[11044] digikam.metaengine: Cannot export changes with Exiv2 backend:   (Error
# 38 :  "Size of XMP JPEG segment is larger than 65535 bytes"
[11044] digikam.metaengine: Exiv2 error exception for "PXL_1369.JPG" Writing of
metadata aborted!

EXPECTED RESULT
I am trying using exiftool to overcome the 64k limitation in XMP segment.
Setting exiftool as backend should allow >64K. But there is no evidence in the
log exiftool is actually being used. Checking the file directly with exiftool
also does not show the additional tags I am trying to write.
