Yes, Remco has basically said all there is to say. I did not expect DT to understand extra metadata. To the contrary: I'm expecting DT to play nicely with metadata it does not know. For every tag the DT devs implement, I can ask for anoher one — that's exactly the opposite of KISS and forces the implementation of everything into DT.
It might not even be about metadata. I'm testing how DT cooperates with external tools without replicating them. So triggering a reload of a changed XMP should incorporate changes in everything DT understands, e.g., time, author, just like the reload DT offers on restart when an XMP file has changed. It should not add new tables to the database. I'm not sure about what architecture Michael envisions precisely. But the tools I'm asking for are already present in DT, I just need to trigger one step from Lua. How?
