Bug ID: 463378 Summary: Applied Tags Don't Get Written To File? Classification: Applications Product: digikam Version: 8.0.0 Platform: Other OS: Microsoft Windows Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Tags-Keywords Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: metal...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Sometimes when I remove tags from a given file, they don't actually seem to get updated. I uncheck the tag, click Apply, and the file modification date does get updated (showing that digiKam actually did "touch" the file). However, if I diff the file against a backup, no binary changes have taken place, and if I "Reread Metadata From File", digiKam reveals that the tag was actually never removed from the file. Easiest to illustrate with a screencast: https://jiij.cc/snaps/2022-12-22_21.50.36.mp4 STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Settings->Configure digiKam->Metadata->Behavior->Check all the checkboxes under "Write This Information to the Metadata" (all other settings on that dialog are as default). 2. Navigate to a photo that has a tag. Note its modification date. 3. Make a backup copy of that photo somewhere 4. On the right of digiKam, go to Captions->Tags 5. Untick the tag, then click "Apply" at the bottom 6. Note that the file modification date has been updated, as expected. 7. Binary diff the photo against its backup. They are identical - the tag was not actually removed. 8. Item->Reread Metadata From File. The tag now reappears in the digiKam UI.
