Tag manager modification aren't writed automaticly in metadata

[nonobio]

Hi,

First, a screenshot of what i'm talking about :

<http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/file/t376394/8XYvHIv.png>

I often use the captions and *tags right panel ("1" on screenshot)* for add or change tags
on selected photo. When i do that, *changes are automaticly writed to
metadata.*

Yesterday, for the first time, i made a tag cleaning using *the tag
exploring view on the left ("2" on screenshot)*. I deleted some tags, modified some others,
etc.

Then, i would synchronize my modified photo to other storage places and saw
*files wasn't physicly modified (tags wasn't writed to metadata).*

So i gone back to Digikam and searched something related : i opened the
*"tag manager" ("3" on screenshot) and saw a feature called "Write tags from database to
picture".*

*So, i have some questions :

1-if i understand : editing tags from tag exploring view or tag manager
aren't automaticly writed to file metadata and i have to use the button
"Write tags from database to picture" ?

2-Is it normal ?*

3-Is there a setting to enable that (automaticly write metadata) ?

4-Are there others editions that aren't automaticly writed in metadata ? In fact, i would like to always write editions to metadata (except labels and colors)

5- If i delete a tag from left panel then synchronize database with metadata : is tag removed from metadata ? or should i use the "delete tag from image" from "tag manager" prior to delete tag ?

6-Is "write database to picture" different of "write metadata in picture" ?

These are my metadata settings :

Thanks :)

I made some tests and i can start to reply myself ;)

1- Yes. It seems that only these actions are automaticly writed in metadata
: check/uncheck tag in right panel "captions"; "delete tag from image" from
"tag manager".

Your help is welcomed for my others questions :)

Hi,

I did some tests with Digikam 6.1.0 and behavior changed :)

No more need to use "write tags from database to picture" : as soon as i
delete a tag in left panel, it is also deleted from files metadata; its what
i expected. It reply to my questions 1-2-3-5 :)


Thanks.
