--- Comment #7 from Jean Paul Eby <jp...@orange.fr> ---
Thank you very much for your technical explanations and the time spent !

In the message box below which opens when you check: “Sidecar file names are
compatible with commercial programs”

"You should only activate this option if you are exchanging image metadata with
programs that use the sidecar format BASENAME.xmp. If you have images with the
same base name (e.g. Image.CR2 and Image.JPG) then the sidecar can no longer be
uniquely assigned and will be used for both images, which can lead to metadata
problems."

Perhaps specify to check this option to have GPS data in EXIF from a RAW which
does not contain any internally, from an XMP file of the same base name...

I really like DIgikam for the fact that the entire catalog is based on
databases, the main one of which contains the thumbnails internally. Big
positive point compared to your competitors!

In fact, saving a single file is faster and less disk space intensive.
The same goes for avoiding archiving RAW files and XMPs only for GPS
coordinates.
I prefer a backup of a RAW (or even JPG) encapsulating in EXIF the GPS
coordinates when they exist. (Canon 5D MK-IV allows this option when shooting)

Currently, to enrich a RAW whose GPS data is absent, but present in an XMP
file, I use the "Item" > "Write metadata to File" option after selecting the
photos concerned.
I have never encountered any particular problem, but is there an option
exclusively authorizing the writing of GPS data when importing into your
database or in Refresh?

Thank you in advance and congratulations to you and your team for the quality
of this program.
