            Bug ID: 352711
           Summary: Externally removed tags are not removed from digiKam
           Product: digikam
           Version: 4.12.0
          Platform: MS Windows
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Tags
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]

In Settings -> Configure -> Metadata -> Behavior: "Rescan file when files are
modified" is set.

If you externally add a tag (e.g. via exiftool) and restart digiKam this new
tag will appear in the tags list and the tool-tip will show it, too.

If you externally remove a tag (e.g. via exiftool) and restart digiKam this
removed tag will stay in the tags list and the tool-tip will continue to show
it, too.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a tag via exiftool (exiftool -subject+=Test -keywords+=Test test.jpg)
2. Open digiKam
3. See the tag appear
4. Close digiKam
5. Remove a tag via exiftool (exiftool -subject-=Test -keywords-=Test test.jpg)
6. Open digiKam
7. The tag is still there

Actual Results:  
The tag is still there

Expected Results:  
The tag should be removed

--- Comment #1 from Marcus Hardt <[hidden email]> ---
I can confirm this for the "Rating" Tag and Digikam 4.4.0.

Changing the tag via exiftool -TAG -Rating=2 <filename> will not be reflected
in digikam.

Even if I copy the file to a different name it is not shown.

If I modify Rating via exiftool before digikam sees the file for the first
time, it works well.

You need to use Re-Read metadata function in digiKam to update the file
properties in database.
