            Bug ID: 433822
           Summary: DigiKam doesn't read extended (xattr) attributes
           Product: digikam
           Version: 7.2.0
          Platform: Neon Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: AdvancedRename
          Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: tagwer...@innerjoin.org
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY:

    Digikam has a new option to read/write information from the
    extended attributes.

    It seems to be able to write attributes such as "rating" and
    "tags" but not read them

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

    Tell digiKam that it should look at extended attributes, go to the
    "Settings / Configure digiKam / Metadata / Baloo" and set: 

        Store metadata from digiKam in Baloo
        Read metadata from Baloo

    and under "... / Behaviour / Write this information to the Metadata"
    select:

        Image tags
        Rating

    and also under "... / Behaviour / Reading and Writing Metadata",
    select:

        Update file modification timestamp when files are modified
        Rescan file when files are modified 

    Create new test image, add a "three star" rating to a new image
    with Dolphin or Gwenview and "mytag" as a tag. Check this with getfattr:

        getfattr -d testfile.jpg

        # file: testfile.jpg
        user.baloo.rating="6"
        user.xdg.tags="mytag"

    Run digiKam and find the image...

OBSERVED RESULTS

    The image is shown without a rating and no apparent tags.

EXPECTED RESULTS

    As per the "Read metadata from Baloo", it should pick up these values

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
