raw or dng - which is safer?

with digiKam you can’t write metadata in raw files, not even tags. This means that if the images are accidentally moved with other programs, the entries are lost.

You can write them to xmp sidecar files, however. Sure, other program may not know to move them along with the main file, but you can just move the xmp manually in that case.
