digikam 0.10: strange behaviour/bug

[Markus Spring]

Playing with 0.10 I discovered two very strange things

* Permanently deleting a picture from an album via Shift-Del does not remove it
from the album view

* Even when setting 'Writing to raw files' off, digikam modifies the raw files
by writing

Creator Tool, Authors Position, Artist, Copyright ,Creator, Rights, Rating,
Rating Percent, Originating Program, Program Version, By-line, By-line Title,
Credit, Source, Copyright Notice

(if specified in the metadata settings) into the raw file when assigning a
rating. Old behaviour was to write these data only into the database, but not
into the raw file.
Unfortunately the modified raw file now shows an error in bibblepro (but not in
lightzone), so I guess for playing safe, 'Writing to raw files' should be
completely prohibited when this setting is 'off'.

Regards - Markus

yes, and it's reproductible also under win32.

* Even when setting 'Writing to raw files' off, digikam modifies the raw files
by writing

Really... I will take a look

About this problem, please file a bug report to Exiv2 bugzilla. It's very important for the future.

It's purely a bug in Exiv2 implementation, and this must be fixed for next 0.18 release (currently in beta). Andreas wait users feedbacks to consolidate the new TIFF writter component used to write metadata on TIFF/EP files (thi sone is used to write in RAW files based on tiff like NEF, PAF, or DNG)

Thanks in advance

Gilles

Ok, but I will do one further test with the most up to date exiv2 svn, because
my build is probably 10 days old.

yes, svn 883547.
Currently rebuilding, I will give an update about the behaviour with Revision

Re-checked with svn 883547: Seems to be resolved for the tested cases of
deleting 1 or 2 images from an album
