Summary: sidecar metadata not loading sporadically
Product: digikam
Version: 5.1.0
Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Metadata

Currently at version 5.1, but this bug goes back to the 4s.
About 20% of the time sidecar metadata doesn't get loaded correctly. There are
two situations:
1) initial scan
I'm moving images into digikam. About 20% of the time the whole directory
will not be scanned. Perhaps something is crashing silently or perhaps the
database is busy. Tags don't come up, versions don't come up, but the metadata
tag shows the tags and imagehistory. A reread metadata usually fixes it, but
on to 2.
2) reread
About 20% of the time on a reread the image metadata doesn't get
incorporated. Images will have information in the metadata tab, but labels and
versions don't show up. This is mostly noticeable when selecting a bunch of
files from a directory that wasn't loaded on the initial scan. Select all
files and reread results in a Swiss cheese of files that have metadata
incorporated. Rereading multiple times often doesn't even fix it(and also can
take a very long time, because it seems to reload the thumbnails). It's like
20% don't incorporate, but the same 20%. So I have to go in by hand and reload
the broken ones one at a time, which works.
