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.
