Hi,
I put together a Perl tool and some documentation (https://github.com/farblos/wpg2dk (https://github.com/farblos/wpg2dk)) to migrate from Windows Photo Gallery to digiKam or, rather, XMP. In a nutshell, the process goes like this:
- convert WPG metadata database to SQLite database
- extract metadata from SQLite database into XMP files
- use ExifTool to merge the metadata step-by-step from the XMP files into the pictures
Besides advertising this thing, I'm asking for feedback. For example:
- whether the selected tags are the "right ones" (https://github.com/farblos/wpg2dk#technical-details (https://github.com/farblos/wpg2dk#technical-details))
- whether the ExifTool commands could be improved (https://github.com/farblos/wpg2dk#specifying-the-files-to-process (https://github.com/farblos/wpg2dk#specifying-the-files-to-process) and following sections)
- anything else ...
Thanks
Jens
