Hi Michael I use DT and Digikam and do 98% of my tagging in Digikam, writing to the jpg and the xmp. (I never let any program do any changes to my RAW files) Never had any problems - so far anyway and I've been doing it like that for the last couple of years using (at different times) both the stable and GIT versions of DT.
