SUMMARY
Difficult to update an image.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Outside digiKam 8.0.0, modify some information about some images. For
example, use exiftool directly to add geo‐location to a photograph. Or change
the timestamp of a file (I’m not speaking about the Exif time, although the
result should be the same).
2. Rescan your image (after a digiKam restart or manually refresh a folder).
OBSERVED RESULT
Metadata is usually not updated in digiKam.
After the metadata update, I tried many things to force digiKam to update the
metadata:
- restart digKam to force it to update the files,
- delete the files then restore them,
- rescan the folder,
- rename the files,
- have a new identical copy in the system file manager.
They all fail.
In the screen capture, you can see that digiKam actually updates something, but
not all.
− The geo‐location appears in the Metadata pane, but the globe icon is not
presented for any of these photographs.
- I can’t upload these files to iNaturalist because they are “not located”.
- However the Geolocation Editor can pin the photograph where it belongs.
EXPECTED RESULT
The metadata should be updated.
