[Bug 304202] New: No option to re-read metadata from XMP sidecar file

            Bug ID: 304202
          Severity: normal
           Version: 2.5.0
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: [hidden email]
           Summary: No option to re-read metadata from XMP sidecar file
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: [hidden email]
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: Metadata
           Product: digikam

If an XMP sidecar file already exists alongside a photo, digikam will not read
it, even if the file was written by (another instance of) digikam itself. It
also cannot be forced to read it via a menu option.

This arises in the use case where photos are stored in a Dropbox account: photo
metadata saved to an XMP file on one machine, then synced to another machine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set digikam on computer A to write metadata to XMP sidecar file
2. Edit photo metadata.
3. Copy photo and XMP file to computer B.
4. Open photo on computer B.
Actual Results:  
Metadata entered on computer A is not visible.

Expected Results:  
Digikam should show the metadata from the XMP file.

First, update at least to 2.6.0 release where XMP sidecar have been very
improved.

In second, go to the bottom of Captions/Tags tab from right sidebar. there is
an option to force to re-read metadata from file...
