I really like using digiKam as a DAM, and want to use darktable to edit raws. Ideally I’d set everything up so I can right click open in darktable from digiKam, and the photo opens in library memory mode, reads the XMP file, writes any edits to the XMP, and then I can exit and the edits are persistent.
I think I’ve narrowed the problem down to darktable not reading the xmp when I open in darktable, as if I subsequently open darktable in normal mode it sees the edited XMP file. However, I’m not sure what i need to do to fix.
Is there a way I can have my workflow as I would like it, or is this not possible at the moment?
Thanks in advance
