Bug ID: 439779
Summary: The rating and color specified outside digiKam are not
updated for all sidecar file settings.
Product: digikam
Version: 7.3.0
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Metadata-Sidecar
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Rating and color transfer are working in "Advanced" settings.
The obstacle is the "Sidecars" settings
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. The rating and color marked outside digiKam will not be updated if "Read
from sidecar files" is selected in the side file settings.
2. In my case, an external program changes the settings of the image file but
reads the outdated data of the xmp file.
3. This can be bypassed if "Read from sidecar files" is not selected - but then
the data of certain files (xcf; video) will be lost for viewing.
OBSERVED RESULT
The rating and color marked outside digiKam will not be updated if "Read from
sidecar files" is selected in the side file settings and the external program
only changes the image file settings.
EXPECTED RESULT
If "Read from sidecar files" is selected, digiKam compares the dates of xmp and
the image file and selects the newer data. The result could ensure that digiKam
is always able to accept external changes according to a subsequent change.
