Dear DT users,

is anybody of you using DT alongside with digikam and tagging his/her
images?
What settings do you use for digikam and how is your workflow?

I learned just yesterday that I had a dangerous digikam option enabled
(write metadata to raw file (experimental)) which damaged my raw files
unnoticed for months :-(
So, I want to use settings that work.

My tagging workflow is currently:
1. SDcard in reader -> KDE notice -> Import pictures with digikam
(folders: 20150300_March, 20150304_Birthday_Peter, ... )
2. Import folder with DT
3. Tag pictures with Names of visible people, important things (snow,
flowers, ...)
4. Develop jpgs with DT (bad pictures get zero star rating to delete
them later from within DT)
5. Browse, sort, present, shrink (for small email attachments) jpgs and
see the tags (they show up below the jpgs).

This seems to work because I let digikam read the xmp sidecar files.
But tagging in DT is not so convenient (only a short list of used tags
visible/accessible without scrolling; and the sorting of tags seems not
to work for me). So, I would like to write tags with digikam to the xmp
files... does this work for anybody? I don't want to damage the xmps.
I'm afraid, that DT cannot read them afterwards...

Cheers,
Michael
