DarkBridge
==========
**Bridge Nikon sidecars to Darktable, seamlessly.**

**DarkBridge** is a utility that converts Nikon NX Studio `.nksc` sidecar 
files into sidecar files compatible with Darktable.It helps photographers 
migrate adjustment data from Nikon’s workflow to Darktable without manually 
recreating edits. Furthermore, **DarkBridge** displays the sidecar content in a
'human-readable' way, and allows to search a metadata or image adjustment by
name in a file tree structure.

[NX Studio][nxst] (and the previous software as View-NX2, ViewNX-i, Capture 
NX-D) may save image adjustments to "sidecar" files in an `NKSC_PARAM` folder 
within the same folder as the original image. In this case, any changes to 
pictures will be saved in image adjustment (sidecar) files (extension `.nksc`)
separate from the original image data. Because changes are not applied directly
to the original image data, pictures can be edited repeatedly with no loss 
in quality. Sidecar files are also used to store labels, ratings, XMP/IPTC 
metadata, and other data in addition to image adjustments.

> ***Warning:** Image adjustments may be saved in the original image file, this 
> script do not support this mode. If an image file has not a sidecar file, the
> script will ignore it. Same for orphan sidecar files.*
