Bug ID: 463528
Summary: XMP sidecars are excluded from local storage export
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version: 7.8.0
Platform: NixOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Metadata-Sidecar
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: thibault.lema...@protonmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When exporting a selection to local storage, items with sidecars are copied
without their sidecars.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make a selection containing items with sidecars
2. Export > Export to local storage...
3. Tick "Use the album path of the items in the target" (probably unrelated
though, but that's how I tested)
4. "Start Export"
OBSERVED RESULT
Sidecar files are nowhere to be found in the export.
EXPECTED RESULT
Sidecar files are copied next to their parent item in the new local folder
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: NixOS 22.11
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.99.0
Qt Version: 5.15.7
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I use digiKam to manage my personal photos and videos. When friends and family
visit me, I like to share part of my library with them (only what's relevant to
them). It is important that the metadata I added is exported for them to be
able to leverage all the search features of digiKam on their own computer. For
formats that support it, I have configured digiKam to sync the metadata to the
files, but for other formats, like most video formats, I rely on sidecars to
store the metadata.
I have verified the issue on a windows machine with digiKam 7.9.0 to which I no
longer have access, but it seems likely to me that the issue is unrelated to
the host platform, or the version of digiKam.
I have experience with C++ and can attempt a PR if provided with some pointers
to get me started. (no pun intended)
