[Bug 277247] New: Critical loss of data - Loss of Tags for pictures since Jan 2011

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=277247

Summary: Critical loss of data - Loss of Tags for pictures
since Jan 2011
Product: digikam
Version: 1.4.0
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Tags
AssignedTo: [hidden email]
ReportedBy: [hidden email]

Version: 1.4.0 (using KDE 4.5.5)
OS: Linux

In early June 2011 I noticed that most pictures taken in 2011 have lost the
tags that I had set including i) old tag categories and ii) newly created tag
categories. Also, some newly created tag categories have disappeared, i.e. are
no longer available in the tag hierarchy.

The concerned picture set was worked on over many sessions during several
months. In other words, a single crash with loss of unsaved data does not
explain the issue I am reporting.

I have appx 20k images in my archive, of which appx 2k are taken in 2011. I
have an extensive tag hierarchy including responses to "who", "what" and
"where". I use digikam successfully since 2006, and have never before
encountered this sort of meta data loss.

Please advise on what elements would be of help; logs? sqlite db?

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
(re)Created some tags that were lost. (re) Tagged some of the pictures that
lost their tags, with both old and new tags.

Actual Results:
Closing DK, and restarting DK does not show any anomalies. The tagged pictures
still have their tags, old and new.

Expected Results:
Digikam should not lose (meta)data.

Hard to reproduce, for sure, but (meta) data loss is critical as countless
hours of work tagging and categorizing my pictures has simply vanished. I will
restore a backup, but my confidence in the otherwise excellent and trustworthy
sw digikam has suffered.

If you have incremental backup of database, it could help to investigate.

Note : I manage picture on a production computer (more than 250000 items), and
i never see this issue. I use SQlite DB.
