Hello forum
I seem to be having some issues with sidecars files. In FRV, I modified the settings that that sidecar files matches the naming pattern used by Digikam.
When I apply a rating in Digikam it is not reflected in FRV and if I apply a rating in. FRV, it is not apply to Digikam. The rating appears in the xmp file though. I place here some xmp output of relevant portion of the picture rating for comparison purposes. The rating is different as of course I am using two different pictures to be able to see the format.
Here is relevant portion of an xmp file as written by Digikam

Some pointer would be appreciated so I can streamline my process and spend more time watching the birds. Maybe I am doing something wrong in Digikam. I suppose rating is read from sidecar, not database??
Regards.
