Regenerating the database metadata of an album?

[Andreas K. Huettel]

Hi,

this is maybe a stupid question, but: how do I force Digikam to regenerate the
metadata database of an album and its subalbums?

The situation is that I have modified EXIF Date/Time of images outside
Digikam. Now, when I hover with the mouse over an image, the pop-up displays
as "Created: " the old time, while the Date/Time filed in the EXIF tab
displays the new, correct one...

Thanks for any advice,
best, Andreas

Hi Andreas,

one way (but not the most elegant one) might be:

 1. make an advanced search with
      Album : Search pictures located in = <your album>

   (this automatically brings up pictures in subalbums,
    too. At least at my digiKam configuration.)

 2. select all images (CTRL + A)

 3. menu: "Image" -> "Reread Metadata From Selected Images"

Regard,
  Peter Albrecht

You don't need to perform a search in order to display the content of sub-albums; there is an option in the Display menu for that, the one before last (in french, it is "Affichage -> Inclure la sous-arborescence des albums").

Excellent, works all. Thank you both.
