Bug ID: 421464 Summary: XPkeywords not being updated Product: digikam Version: 7.0.0 Platform: MS Windows OS: MS Windows Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Metadata-Exif Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: kyle.hershber...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Changes made to tags in digiKam are not being written to the XPkeywords tag in file metadata. This results in making it impossible to remove tags that were present in XPkeywrds since digiKam will not actually remove them from file metadata. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Software setup: Configure-digiKam->MetaData->Behavior Image Tags and Rating are checked Configure-digiKam->MetaData->Advanced Confirmed that Tags->Write Options->Exif.Image.XPkeywords is checked 2. Edit image properties in Windows Explorer and assign a tag 'TAGWIN' 3. Verify existence of XPkeywords using exiftool $ ~/exiftool.exe -XPkeywords 20150116_212511.jpg XP Keywords : TAGWIN 4. Album->Reread metadata from files. The tag appears in digiKam 5. Select image in digiKam, and using right side-bar uncheck 'TAGWIN' and click Apply. Tag disappears from image in digiKam. 6. Verify tag is removed. 7. Check file using exiftool.exe and see that the 'TAGWIN' is still present. $ ~/exiftool.exe -XPkeywords 20150116_212511.jpg XP Keywords : TAGWIN 8. Album->Write metadata to files (Should not be needed, but do it anyways) 9. Check file using exiftool.exe and see that the 'TAGWIN' is still present. $ ~/exiftool.exe -XPkeywords 20150116_212511.jpg XP Keywords : TAGWIN 10. Album->Reread metadata from files. 'TAGWIN' reappears from the dead. OBSERVED RESULT If a keyword tag was assigned in Windows, it is impossible to delete using digiKam. Tag will reappear after a resync from file metadata. This behavior only occurs for keywords in the XPkeywords metadata tag. EXPECTED RESULT When a tag is deleted in digiKam and sync'd to file metadata it is removed from ALL possible locations in file metadata. I don't want to see it anywhere ever again.
