Allow to generate sidecar files from exiftool for non-supported filetypes #3087

Open Bionus opened 8 months ago

There are a few reasons one might want to use sidecar files instead of embedded metadata:

And while Grabber does support generating sidecar files and as such one could use the built-in system, it can make more sense to factorize this and rely of exiftool for this.

Filename for the sidecars set to filename.ext.xmp. For example, image1.dng will have a sidecar file named image1.dng.xmp. With the option Sidecar file names are compatible with commercial programs digiKam will create the XMP sidecar files with a compatible file name (image1.xmp) used by many commercial programs.
