Summary: Sync Metadata Plugin does not reflect changes in tags
properly
Product: digikam
Version: unspecified
Platform: SuSE RPMs
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Tags
AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
ReportedBy: linux daniel-bauer com
Version: 0.9.1 svn (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from: SuSE RPMs
if you change the order of a tag tree and then update IPTC using the menu option "sync all Metadata", the "new" tag gets written additionally into IPTC but the "old" remains there.
Example to explain:
tag tree is:
- girlfriends
- Susi
- Heidi
- ...
ex-girlfriends
- Jane
- Melanie
- ...
Now I move tag Susi from girlfriends to ex-girlfriends using the right tags sidebar. Database gets updated, but in IPTC, of course, it's still "girlfriends/Susi". So I use "sync all Metadata". After this IPTC is "girlfriends/Susi, ex-girlfriends/Susi".
I understand that sync doesn't want to delete existing IPTC keywords, but on the other hand, in this case it is still not a real sync. At least it should mirror changes in tags/keywords that are done using digiKam.
As there is no "edit Metadata"-plugin option in the Menu anymore, the wrong IPTC cannot be corrected within digiKam and another app must be used for that. (I used imageMagick to remove all IPTC headers and then rebuild them with the sync tool of digiKam, but digiKam should offer such possibilities itself, I think).
