--- Comment #6 from Such A Shame <myaccount...@protonmail.com> --- So it appears that as expected choosing "Read metadata from file" removes all such tags from database too and thus looses data, whereas "Write metadata to file" saves the correct updated data from database to sidecars and retains integrity. Latter is what fixes data from possibly disappearing in future if this backup feature is used for some reason, unless the orphan sidecars are for some reason manually used to replace the ones with image files (which may actually happen when dealing with other hardware or filesystem related issues to rescue data). Orphan sidecars at old location are not fixed by either, but if files are moved back to old location sidecars are replaced as expected with the ones from new location. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
