Bug ID: 507441
Summary: Resume interrupted metadata sync
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version First 8.7.0
Reported In:
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: cal...@outlook.com
Target Milestone: ---
PROPOSAL: Create a queue mechanism for metadata-sync that survives app
restarts.
STEPS:
* Media files are updated, resulting in "... files await synchronization".
* Click to start synchronization.
* While it is running, terminate DK process & verify it is completely shut
down, aborting the sync before it is finished.
Start DK.
BEHAVIOR
Currently, DK is unaware that synchronization process was not completed,
leaving XMP/media files in unknown state.
"Tools - Maintenance - Sync Metadata and Database" process is too heavy as it
affects whole collections, running for very long time.
DK should save metadata sync in a queue and after a restart, it should resume
XMP/media files synchronization process if the saved queue was not completed.
Extra nice to have: on a fresh start, put the remaining queue in a paused mode,
so it can be resumed by clicking "... files await synchronization".
Extra extra nice to have: do not force media sync when shutting down DK. Let
users choose when to run it, since sync steps are saved.
