I do this right now as well, but I have to say, that due to the database
approach incorporating dt as a pure developer isn't that nicely done.
Plus, it acually could do so much more. I really like the db-approach
that is centred around metadata for collections.

Being ignorant of digikam (needs such a large runtime) I still vote for
mapivi these days. It needs my images as jpg, but for some preservation
issue I go to jpg anyway.

It would be nice if one could avoid this juggling to and fro, right?

Actually, I like to have both. I like dt's approach here. I could select
on a folder basis but I don't need to use a folder.

Once I got my metadata assingned I again like dt here. Just assignment
currently has quite some room for improvement, unfortunately. Tried it
again from time to time and always revert back to mapivi's slicker,
faster interface. Even wrote a small tool to export metadata from
iptc->dt-suitable xmps to ingest everything to dt once and check some
stuff there, but well, "not yet".
