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 SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Neon Unstable DigiKam : 7.2.0 (build date 2021-03-01) Plasma : 5.21.80 Frameworks : 5.80.0 Qt : 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION If the rating and tags are changed within digiKam, they are written to the extended attributes -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
