I read through one of the darktable-modified XMP files. I bet you are right, it probably wouldn't cause any real problems having darktable write over the top of the digikam xmp files. Does anyone here use digikam and darktable together? Does digikam try to read the darktable xmp info into the digikam database? It has taken me a long time to get metadata management under control, so at the moment I'd prefer that only digiKam handle XMP files. Fortunately there is a global option in darktable that allows to not write XMP files at all.

I can imagine how the processing history could be very useful and I didn't know that darktable can save same, so thanks! for that information. Images that I output with darktable are further processed in an external application. If I process a raw file a second time, it's because I wasn't happy the first time, or because I need a completely different rendering as a layer for blending in the external application, or etc, so I'm not sure how the processing histories would be useful enough to worry about.
