--- 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.
