Did anyone make the switch to Lightroom or Darktable?

If so, how did you migrate your IPTC and keyword tags?

Write standard XMPs and other apps will pcke them up.

standard xmps don't allow hierachical structure...
ITPC standards are also very restrictive with keywords.

Loosing non standard hierarchies is a completely different issue than claiming keywords are lost.

I'm not interested in keeping all my keywords without their hierarchy. It will be to messy to be workable, rebuild-able or so.
So ye,s in that case, keywords can be considered as lost.

Adobe uses an undocumented and non-standard field XMP:HierarchicalSubject to store hierarchies, so it can be done. But ASP does not write to this field. I have written scripts for iMatch 3.6 that read from and write to this field.

Rebuilding keyword hierarchies should be very easy if all the keywords are already across.
Keywording is a major time sink activity.

Do anyone think that Photivo could have a good future?
I'm still looking for something that reads my wife's raw files (Lumix FZ200), & I can't stand Darktable.

Thanks in advance.

Using Linux as operatingsystem, and looking for a RAW converter alternative besides the open source solutions, I tried to run Adobe Lightroom in a Windows Virtual Machine with VMware Player. Well it was relatively slow, especially the preview rendering, and so I looked for a solution to run LR in WINE. In a forum I found a thread, where some guy dit some patching on WINE to bring this to work, here is the link: http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/digi ... ost2171005
Tried it with the ne LR4.4 Demo and after some fiddling with the missing 32bit librarys on my 64bit Debian system it works quite well. It's pretty fast and there are no bugs till now, just the one mentioned later in the linked thread. I think I found my alternative for the case ASP really should die one day, although for now ASP is fine for me because I don't have an unsupported camera at the moment, sold my X10 a few weeks ago...

With one or two developers? They have come far so who knows ...

It seems that you have to actively save changes everytime you have done anything to a raw file, which is why I wont use it! But maybe some day!

Yes, unfortunately. It's a Bummer!
But at least you can navigate thru the tools easier & quicker than in DT.
I guess that for the time being, I'm gonna use Photivo for the Lumix raw files. (unless APS gets more active w/ the camera updates!)

thanks for the reply.

Once you get used to DT it isn't that bad at all

It took me two weeks of intensive work with it but by now I found a workflow which I'm content with and is even faster than with ASP ...
