wpg2dk - Migrate from Windows Photo Gallery to digiKam with ExifTool

[farblos]

Hi,

I put together a Perl tool and some documentation (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)
• whether the ExifTool commands could be improved (https://github.com/farblos/wpg2dk#specifying-the-files-to-process and following sections)
• anything else ...

Thanks

Jens
