            Bug ID: 370245
           Summary: Be able to rename tags which have been setted in
                    pictures
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.2.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Tags
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]

Rename tags in file could help us to earn many time:
For example fixing a typo error in a person tag, or reorder the locations tags
defined in a picture to another picture.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Seek people into pictures
2.Set a name for each identified face with sometimes adding a typo in the
person's name

Actual Results:  
To fix the typo error, you need to:
- create the appropriate person tag
- browse all pictures where this person is identified, and replace the
identification tag by the appropriate one.


Expected Results:  
- from the tags directory tree, be able to rename the tag. After renaming, all
pictures with the tag which contains the typo error contains now the new tag
content.

This already implemented. Open Tag Manager -> right click on the tag -> Edit
Tag Title (or F2 key).

Yes, we are unable to rename tags but it does not also apply the update into
the picture:
- set a people tag in a picture called "Jon Doe".
- exitool picture.CR2 display "Jon Doe"
- rename from Digikam "Jon Doe" into "John Doe"
- exiftool picture.CR2 still display "Jon Doe"

In this case, filter for "John Doe" in the left sidebar (tags filter). Select
all and select "write Metadata to Image" from menu. There are only 3 mouse
clicks or use the Maintenance tool.

Yes that is possible, but why is that necessary? It should be done
automatically. Not doing it automatically just makes the database and the image
metadata be out of sync which is surely not a desirable state to be in.

Hello,
Thanks you for your feedback. I didn't know this possibility.
So this feature request is not required anymore.

But I agree with Andrew: if we don't know the appropriate process, we can think
this feature does not exists.
It could be easier to save tag in picture automatically, (after a confirm), or
provide a configuration option which allow to enable this feature.

Anyway, thanks for your feedback.

Regards

Hi Folks, I was just about to file a feature request for "modify/rename a tag
should update all tagged photos meta data, when I found this one.

It would be great to see Digikam automatically update all effected photos
metadata.

Same goes for moving a tag into a tag folder, e.g. from root/Helsinki ->
places/FI/Helsinki. This modification should be updated in the metadata as
well, to be able to import the photo with correct tags into another program.
