--- Comment #11 from IWBR <iwannaber...@gmail.com> --- As I accidentally submitted a duplicated bug that was closed, I repeat the comment that I left in the other one (bug #392109): The reasoning behind not saving these specific changes to the metadata is because of the possible large amount of elements that could be affected. But the same applies to removing or adding a new tag, which are indeed saved immediately to metadata. It should be user's choice if it's worth saving those changes to the pictures (as it is asked during the first run), regardless of the time that it might take. If the option to write metadata to files is checked, it should be written. If it's not, only digikam's metadata should be changed. The current state is inconsistent, and because of that I just realized that many changes have not actually been applied to my library. A fair compromise would be showing a confirmation dialog before the change: "This change will affect ### pictures in your library, are you sure you want to continue?". (this is actually what happens in picasa if you try to write over more than 50 or 100 pictures at a time, if I recall correctly). Thank you for your time. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
