Thank you Maik for your analysis. Indeed, I didn’t know about that option that
is not active by default. With it, the files now have the full detail.
I still think that it’s very strange that the data was correct in the metadata
panel but not in the main view. Something to reconsider probably.

Indeed, when I asked digiKam to refresh, I right clicked on the file folder and
selected the refresh option. The nuance with the Reread option was too subtle.
For clarity, maybe call that option Scan for new files?
