From reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/tygw1u/)

QuoteTo work around Exiv2 limitations, digiKam 8.0.0 will use ExifTool as secondary metadata backend to write/update information in RAW/Video files. This will allow to patch metadata in NEF, CR3, HEIF, AVIF, ARW, JPEG-XR, MOV, MP4, ORF, PEF, PSD, RAF, etc.

I can't find any DigiKam links and 8.0 isn't out yet, so this is probably in development builds

Hello,

as far as I know also digikam version 7.7 and also 7.6 uses Exiftool.
digiKam 7.6 is released and here is a link to the latest snapshot versions of digikam 7.7: https://files.kde.org/digikam/ (https://files.kde.org/digikam/)

Best regards

I believe they have an option to use exiftool to read data, but not write data. I could be wrong though.

ExifTool Support in ver 7.3 (https://www.digikam.org/news/2021-07-12-7.3.0_release_announcement/#exiftool-support)
