--- Comment #23 from RS <shopp...@ralfschmid.net> --- Thanks a lot for your explanation, Maik – what you describe is essentially what I had expected. Unfortunately reality doesn’t exactly match my expectations: I have checked 'Clean up the metadata from the database when rescan files' in Settings > Metadata > Behaviour. My test image is a DNG that I want ot keep in sync with Adobe Lightroom (I actually plan to get rid of the latter in the near future). The original Lightroom DNG had the (hierarchic) keywords 'food', 'vergetables' and 'potatoes' saved inside the DNG (afaik as an XMP). When I scan the image in Digikam, everything is great, including the hierarchic structure. Changing and saving the keywords in Digikam and rescan the image in Lightroom is working flawless as well, but not the other way. If I’m changing the keywords in Lightroom, let’s say to 'agriculture' and nothing else, save the metadata and do the Album > Reread metadata from files command in Digikam, all metadata will be updated, except the keywords, 'food', 'vergetables' and 'potatoes' – they remain as if they’re carved in stone, obviously no chance to get rid of them. And I don’t mean the overall tag list – where they are welcome – but in the assigned file’s metadata. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
