--- Comment #15 from Kristian Karl <kristian.hermann.k...@gmail.com> --- Created attachment 114931 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=114931&action=edit Old metadata remains after file is re-scanned Hi Maik, I think your solution looks really good. I tested it, and the re-scanning part works well. However, it seems that the old metadata is not discarded from the digikam database. This means that changes made in a sidecar file, will show up, which is good. But the old data, that was replaced, or removed from the sidecar file, is still displayed by digikam. This is how I tested it. ======================== 1) Start digikam in an empty folder: digikam --database-directory <empty folder> 2) When digikam asks for a collection, point to a fresh folder of images. No sidecar files exists. 3) Make sure settings are: - "Update file timestamp when files are modified" - "Rescan file when files are modified" - "Read from sidecar files" - "Write to sidecar files - "Write to XMP sidecar only" 4) Assign a face tag XXX to some image 5) Close digikam 6) Open the sidecar file in a text editor, replace the all XXX to YYY, save and close. 7) Restart digikam Expected results ================ Image will now display only YYY Actual results ================ Image displays both XXX and YYY -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
