Bug ID: 434438
Summary: Writing metadata to an XMP sidecar removes
previously-entered metadata already in the XMP file.
Product: digikam
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Metadata-Sidecar
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: ja...@lab6.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Adding a caption to a photo and writing metadata to an XMP sidecar file removes
any tags that might already be recorded in the XMP sidecar.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set Digikam to "Write to XMP sidecar only"
2. Find a photo with no tags or captions.
3. Open the "Captions" right-hand panel and click the Tags tab.
4. Add a tag and click "Apply"
5. An XMP sidecar file is generated, with a <digiKam:TagsList> element.
6. Click the Description tab.
7. Add a caption and click "Apply"
8. An XMP sidecar file is generated, *only* containing the caption. The tag
information is now missing from the XMP file.
EXPECTED RESULT
I expect that whenever Digikam writes an XMP sidecar file, it writes all
eligible metadata, whereas it appears to be writing only the latest change.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Qt 5.14.2 (built against 5.14.2)
