--- Comment #3 from David <drh...@gmail.com> ---
Hi Maik,
A few further comments.
1) The comment at the top of the save function matches what I was expecting.
// If our image is really a symlink, we should follow the symlink so that
// when we delete the file and rewrite it, we are honoring the symlink
// (rather than just deleting it and putting a file there).
// However, this may be surprising to the user when they are writing
sidecar
// files. They might expect them to show up where the symlink is. So, we
// shouldn't follow the link when figuring out what the filename for the
// sidecar should be.
2) Looking at the load function. I can't see how it would load a sidecar file
that was stored where the original file is rather than in the directory with
the symlink.
ie mydir <- Directory I load in digikam
|- myfile.jpg -> ../someotherdir/myotherfilename.jpg
someotherdir
|- myotherfilename.jpg
|- myotherfilename.jpg.xmp <-- This won't be found if I understand the
code correctly as it doesn't follow the symlink to the original file first.
