Not a surprise that it is some bizarre Microsoft quirk.

A possible low-effort resolution is to allow the option of removing the
XPkeywords tag altogether when writing out metadata.  This would resolve the
issue of tags set in XPkeywords perpetually reappearing after each resync.

I see this as much more favorable than the current behavior.

In my version of Windows 10 it is able to read keyword tags from the other EXIF
locations that digiKam writes to.  So even if XPkeywords was blown away,
Windows would still be able to get the tags from the other EXIF fields.

[digikam] [Bug 421464] New: XPkeywords not being updated

2020-05-13 Thread Kyle Hershberger

Bug ID: 421464
   Summary: XPkeywords not being updated
   Product: digikam
   Version: 7.0.0
  Platform: MS Windows
OS: MS Windows
Status: REPORTED
  Severity: normal
  Priority: NOR
 Component: Metadata-Exif
  Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
  Reporter: kyle.hershber...@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

Changes made to tags in digiKam are not being written to the XPkeywords tag in
file metadata.  This results in making it impossible to remove tags that were
present in XPkeywrds since digiKam will not actually remove them from file
metadata.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Software setup:
Configure-digiKam->MetaData->Behavior
  Image Tags and Rating are checked
Configure-digiKam->MetaData->Advanced
  Confirmed that Tags->Write Options->Exif.Image.XPkeywords is checked
2. Edit image properties in Windows Explorer and assign a tag 'TAGWIN'
3. Verify existence of XPkeywords using exiftool
  $ ~/exiftool.exe -XPkeywords 20150116_212511.jpg
  XP Keywords : TAGWIN
4. Album->Reread metadata from files.The tag appears in digiKam
5. Select image in digiKam, and using right side-bar uncheck 'TAGWIN' and click
Apply.  Tag disappears from image in digiKam.
6. Verify tag is removed.
7. Check file using exiftool.exe and see that the 'TAGWIN' is still present.
  $ ~/exiftool.exe -XPkeywords 20150116_212511.jpg
  XP Keywords : TAGWIN
8. Album->Write metadata to files  (Should not be needed, but do it anyways)
9. Check file using exiftool.exe and see that the 'TAGWIN' is still present.
  $ ~/exiftool.exe -XPkeywords 20150116_212511.jpg
  XP Keywords : TAGWIN
10.  Album->Reread metadata from files. 'TAGWIN' reappears from the dead.

OBSERVED RESULT

If a keyword tag was assigned in Windows, it is impossible to delete using
digiKam.  Tag will reappear after a resync from file metadata.  This behavior
only occurs for keywords in the XPkeywords metadata tag.

EXPECTED RESULT

When a tag is deleted in digiKam and sync'd to file metadata it is removed from
ALL possible locations in file metadata.  I don't want to see it anywhere ever
again.
