Bug ID: 363599
Summary: Media File ctime Changes Even When Only Writing To XMP
Sidecar File
Product: digikam
Version: 3.5.0
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Metadata
Assignee: digikam-de...@kde.org
Reporter: cfd...@gmail.com
When writing metadata "to XMP sidecar only", digikam also updates the ctime of
the media file, even though nothing is (supposed to be) written to the media
file, and even though "Update file timestamp when metadata is saved" is NOT
selected.
This causes backup programs to make unnecessary backups of unmodified media
files, and defeats the purpose of the "Write to XMP sidecar only" feature. And
it seems it would be inconsistent with the expected behavior for the checkbox
"Update file timestamp when metadata is saved" even if one is not using the XMP
sidecar feature.
Reproducible: Always
