[digikam] [Bug 356065] New: Baloo metadata not written out by Album

[bugzilla_noreply]

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356065

            Bug ID: 356065
           Summary: Baloo metadata not written out by Album
           Product: digikam
           Version: 4.12.0
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Baloo Interface
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]

With the option "Store metadata from digikam in Baloo" selected...

... when I select an individual image and apply a set of tags, those tags seem
to correctly be reflected as tags in the Dolphin Information Panel (via Baloo
extended attributes).

However, "Album > Write Metadata to Images" does NOT seem to store the metadata
into Baloo, or make those tags accessible via Dolphin.  This is important
because I would like to avoid having to individually select each image to make
(previously assigned) tags accessible to Baloo.

My installation:
Kubuntu 15.10
Digikam 4.12.0
KDE Frameworks 5.15.0

Thank you!

The problem is mostly in Ballo implementation. With KDE4 nothing is maintained
and developers swith to KF5 to support Baloo.

So i recommend to test with digiKam 5.0.0-beta1 which is KF5 based.

Note : Baloo sound like more and more difficult to follow and make digiKam very
unstable.
digiKam team have talk seriously about the future to support Baloo, and if the
situation do not change ASAP, well we will drop Baloo support as well...

> This file still valid using digiKam 5.0.0 ?

Update to my now current setup:
Kubuntu 16.04
Plasma 5.6.5 installed via ppa:/kubuntu-backports
Frameworks 5.23.0 installed via ppa:/kubuntu-backports
Qt 5.5.1 (unknown package source)
Digikam 5.0.0 installed via ppa:/philip5/extra


I attempted to reproduce test case #1 of a newly tagged file, and test case #2
of previously tagged files with metadata refreshed. Unfortunately, I am not
currently seeing the metadata transferred to the file extended attributes at
all, at least when testing using the Dolphin information panel. Could still be
an installation/set-up issue, but I wanted to at least report my current
findings.

Thanks for following up.
