I use darktable and digikam together and have never had a problem. I use digikam to import images from my cameras card, give the images a star rating in digikam then open the folder they are in with darktable to do my processing. Darktable displays the star rating I gave the image in digikam so it's an easy way to sort the images I really like from those I will process second.
