Yes, I had some ideas and started working on it but I am kind of stuck. I still have to evaluate some things before I can proceed. Current plan is to import basically every bit (*) of metadata into the db (so it can be used to find images which wouldn't work if it gets read on demand). I am still not sure if all that data should be put into the XMP, too. Or just if it has been changed in dt from its original value. TL;DR: don't expect anything soon.

Tobias (*) this will most likely be limited to a curated set of fields which should however be big enough for almost everyone.
