I have been adding a bunch of tags to photos and digikam is configured to save the metadata to sidecars.
I had previously updated all the images in the albums to save the metadata in the files.
After that I tried the maintenance tool to "Sync metadata and database (From database to image metadata)". I did not expect this to change the sidecar files since I had just written all the sidecars manually.
One change that I noticed in many places was that the dc:subject data was changed for many images which had multiple tags.
Before the sync I would have:
<digiKam:TagsList>
<rdf:Seq>
<rdf:li>Vcat/Marin Civic Center</rdf:li>
<rdf:li>Peo/Michael Golden</rdf:li>
</rdf:Seq>
</digiKam:TagsList>
<dc:subject>
<rdf:Bag>
<rdf:li>Marin Civic Center</rdf:li>
<rdf:li>Michael Golden</rdf:li>
</rdf:Bag>
</dc:subject>
After the sync I have:
<digiKam:TagsList>
<rdf:Seq>
<rdf:li>Peo/Michael Golden</rdf:li>
<rdf:li>Vcat/Marin Civic Center</rdf:li>
</rdf:Seq>
</digiKam:TagsList>
<dc:subject>
<rdf:Bag>
<rdf:li>Marin Civic Center</rdf:li>
</rdf:Bag>
</dc:subject>
Note that the "Michael Golden" tag is missing from dc:subject.
Is that behavior correct?
I see this with many images. Before the sync there is one entry in dc:subject for each tag, but after the sync there is only a single entry. I don't know exactly what dc:subject is supposed to contain but this doesn't seem to be consistent.
