Bug ID: 434060
Summary: DigiKam doesn't drop deleted tags from Extended
Attributes
Product: digikam
Version: 7.2.0
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Database-Baloo
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: tagwer...@innerjoin.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY:
If digiKam reads a tag from the extended attributes of a file and
the tag is modified, the change is seen in digiKam when the file
modification time is changed and the screen refreshed.
... However
If digiKam reads tags from the extended attributes of a file and
the tags are subsequently removed, digiKam does not 'forget' the
deleted tags (even after 'touching' the file and refreshing)
In the same way, if tags are assigned within digiKam, saved to
the Extended Attributes, and then deleted within digiKam and
saved again, they are not removed from the xattr.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
On a system that supports Extended Attributes (such as Ext4, BTRFS)
Tell digiKam that it should handle extended attributes, go to the
"Settings / Configure digiKam / Metadata / Baloo" and set:
Store metadata from digiKam in Baloo
Read metadata from Baloo
and under "... / Metadata / Behaviour / Write this information
to the Metadata", select:
Image tags
Rating
and also under "... / Metadata / Behaviour / Reading and Writing
Metadata", select:
Update file modification timestamp when files are modified
Rescan file when files are modified
Clear the selections under "... / Metadata / Advanced" for Tags
and Ratings, on the basis that this is needed in order to write
the tag/rating metadata back to the Extended Attributes
Create new test image, add "mytag" as a tag with Dolphin or Gwenview,
and check with getfattr:
getfattr -d testfile.jpg
# file: testfile.jpg
user.xdg.tags="mytag"
change the file modification time with "touch testfile.jpg" and
check that digiKam sees the tag
Delete the tag with Dolphin or Gwenview and confirm that it has
gone, "touch testfile.jpg" to update the modification time and
refresh digiKam
OBSERVED RESULTS
The testfile.jpg in digiKam still shows "mytag"
EXPECTED RESULTS
The tag should have gone...
