Do you mean the "xmpMM:DerivedFrom" field? that's nice, but all this seems unnecessary to me. I've been using the Exif tools (variously, than you Patrick for later revisions to my workflow) for a cuple of years now and never had to edit that 'inside' of the XMP file to get any of the Linux photo tools, Darktable, RawThereapee, Gwenview, Shotwell, Gphoto, DCRaw, GIMP, etc etc etc to work . I think the operative term her is that it is the 'original' name it was "derived" from, not the 'current' name it "corresponds" to. ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
