Hi,

> digikam primarily for photo management?
Good question. Most of the time I search in DT for RAWs. But if I order prints 
once a year, I (we) search in digikam, because there are all my photos from my 
point and shot too. And I like to have the jpgs separatly. Interestingly there 
is an older video made by Pascal, where he suggests to 'archive' the photos in 
a common format like JPG [0]. Because you never know what will happen in the 
future. So digkam for me is more like an archive. What's missing in digikam is 
the option to open the according RAW in DT just in case I want to tweak it 
again, but I guess that would be a task for a LUA script?

Yes, as it will read all exif data including tags from the exported jpgs. As 
digikam monitors the specified image folders, there is no need to import newly 
exported photos. One reason why I tag and rate my RAWs in DT is that they are 
there, if I come back later to edit and export them again.
