Hi,
I used a tool called STAG to auto tag  all my photos (around 250,000 photos collected over 30 years). this tool worked well and fast. It created a small XMP file for each photo which has the tagging info.

How can I import those created xmp files into Picapport so that the tages from those files appear some where in the Keywords or MyTags section in Picapport home page?

any help is appreciated 
thank you

Please note that I first useed the "PicApport AI" addon to tag my photos from within  Picapport and while it works, it requires that I go into each folder in  Picapport and load all the thumbnails of all photos by pressing, more several times, then start the tagging process, which is exhasuting for the amount of folders that I have and the amount of photos in each folder.

...you can use it to add your .xmp files to your photos

can you tell briefly how to do that ? I see in my addon menu this add on "Show exiftool Metadata" when I click on it, it give error " Cannot run program "": CreateProcess error=87, The parameter is incorrect " and it doesn't matter if I select one photo or more.
