Bug ID: 509374
Summary: Rating is not stored to all filetypes
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version First 8.6.0
Reported In:
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Metadata-Engine
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Writing metadata to files (i.e. via Album->Write-Metadata...) does not work in
all circumstances with different filetypes. Once I (manually) refresh (i.e. via
Album->Read-Metadata...) at least my ratings are gone.
Initially it did only work with image files, but not with Video (mp4) and sound
(ogg). When I changed the settings "Reading and Writing Metadata" -> exiftool
for reading and "delegate to exiftool [..] for writing" it worked at least for
the mp4 files.
In my case I'm only trying to do this for the five-star-rating. I understand
that whichever backend one chooses, not all file formats can be supported. So
the GUI should either not try writing, or not accept empty reads as a zero
rating. Maybe having a list of filetypes where reading is known to work could
help in only overwriting ratings that make sense.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Rate an image, a video and a sound file with two stars.
2. Menu: Albums -> Write Metadata to files
3. Menu: Albums -> Read Metadata from files
OBSERVED RESULT
Only the rating of the image is still there
EXPECTED RESULT
All the ratings should be there
