[digikam] [Bug 472846] Digikam doesn't write metadata to files/sidecars under unclear circumstances
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=472846 --- Comment #9 from Ralf S --- Beside the fact that I really like the 'Lazy Sync' and the 'Re-read Metadata' functions and never had any problems with them (yes, I'm working with external tools too), I deactivated both for test purposes but that didn't solve the problem. As a workaround I will avoid metadata changes on the bad machine and use one of the good ones instead.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=472846 --- Comment #11 from Ralf S --- The 8.2.0 AppImage is running fine, the described error doesn’t occur anymore. As I mentioned, it was gone already in AppImage 8.1.0 and meanwhile I'm running the snap version of 8.1.0 on the »bad« machine without this error too. So from my point of view everything’s looking great – thank you! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

--- Comment #7 from Ralf S ---
First of all: Forget the MacOS issue. While starting with the requested
screenshots I detected a wrong setting: Delegate to Exiftool was not checked.
Checking it immediately led to proper working of the MacOs version. Sorry – my
bad!
The Linux/Kubuntu issue seems to be bit more tricky. Running 8.1.0 from an
Appimage works as expected – both files are written. Unfortunately the Snap
store is pretty sleepy, so I assume they won't update DK before Christmas or
so. Interesting question ist, why the same version 8.0.0 is running fine on
another machine with all in all the same Linux system. I suspect Exiftool being
tangled somehow. What I've noticed:
In 8.0.0 there is Exiftool 12.40, in 8.1.0 it's Exiftool 12.62. As far as I
know, Exiftool is an external source to which Digikam depends. Does that mean
there are two versions running on the system or is 12.62 included to the
Appimage? Running 'exiftool' in the terminal responses 'Syntax: exiftool
[OPTIONS] FILE Consult the exiftool documentation for a full list of options.'
while on the 'good' Linux machine a proper manual appears with the same
command. ('whereis exiftool' responds '/usr/bin/exiftool
/usr/share/man/man1/exiftool.1p.gz' on both machines).
When I disable 'Delegate to exiftool' in 8.0.0, at least the XMP sidecar gets
written, when enabling the option again, nothing at all is written to any file.
Clicking on 'Change' in the Exiftool panel of the metadata settings easily
locates Exiftool in /bin in 8.1.0, whereas 8.0.0 (on both Linux machines) shows
nothing, neither in /bin nor in /usr/bin. From my perspective it's not easy to
understand what's going on here, since Exiftool 12.40 is clearly located in
/usr/bin.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=472846 --- Comment #8 from Maik Qualmann --- Yes, ExifTool is in AppImage bundle. But we also look for ExifTool in the system, we may need to change this related to AppImage. Another problem is using Lazy Sync and re-reading metadata from the file when changes are made. We cannot guarantee in all cases that changes made will be rolled back with a re-read, as some plugins do this because they do not have a database frontend (because of Showfoto). We made the Geolocation Editor compatible with Lazy Sync for digiKam-8.2.0, with a pure database interface. Lazy Sync: I wouldn't use it. Re-read Metadata: Only needed if you change images externally. Maik -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
