Bug ID: 398331
Summary: xmp sidecar files are not reloaded on change
Product: digikam
Version: 6.0.0
Platform: Appimage
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Metadata-Engine
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: lai...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
I set up digikam to write metadata only to xmp sidecar files and also checked
"Rescan file when files are modified". However, changes in xmp sidecar files
are not detected (not when digiKam is running and also not when restarting it).
Reloading metadata works when the actual image is changed:
exiv2 -M"set Xmp.xmp.Rating 3" IMG.JPG
-> Rating is instantly updated in digiKam.
When setting a rating in digikam and then using a text editor to change
xmp:Rating in the xmp sidecar, the rating is not updated automatically. When
triggering "Reread Metadata From File" manually or running "touch IMG.JPG", the
rating is updated.
Due to the last observation I would guess that the mtime of the xmp file is
currently not stored in the database.
Fixing this would make interoperability with other applications so much better.
(tested using the 6.0.0-beta1 AppImage, but also previously observed with
5.9.0)
