Bug ID: 439779 Summary: The rating and color specified outside digiKam are not updated for all sidecar file settings. Product: digikam Version: 7.3.0 Platform: Microsoft Windows OS: Microsoft Windows Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Metadata-Sidecar Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: hann...@hot.ee Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Rating and color transfer are working in "Advanced" settings. The obstacle is the "Sidecars" settings STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. The rating and color marked outside digiKam will not be updated if "Read from sidecar files" is selected in the side file settings. 2. In my case, an external program changes the settings of the image file but reads the outdated data of the xmp file. 3. This can be bypassed if "Read from sidecar files" is not selected - but then the data of certain files (xcf; video) will be lost for viewing. OBSERVED RESULT The rating and color marked outside digiKam will not be updated if "Read from sidecar files" is selected in the side file settings and the external program only changes the image file settings. EXPECTED RESULT If "Read from sidecar files" is selected, digiKam compares the dates of xmp and the image file and selects the newer data. The result could ensure that digiKam is always able to accept external changes according to a subsequent change.
