Bug ID: 461888
Summary: Writing metadata to file fails while database sync
process is running
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version: 7.9.0
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Maintenance-Metadata
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: jose_oli...@hotmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
Writing metadata to file fails while database sync process is running
***
SETUP:
- Lazy file operations are enabled.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Digikam and from the Tools -> Maintenance dialog perform a Database
Sync from Image to Database, depending on the size of the image collection this
can take quite some time.
2. While the database sync process is running modify file metadata (Example:
Captions, People Tags)
3. Pending metadata operations appear at the bottom, click on the bottom
toolbar to save the metadata changes.
OBSERVED RESULT
- Metadata operations performed when Database Sync operation is running are not
performed. No error message is presented, and the bottom toolbar seemingly
appears as if the changes have been performed. The metadata changes are
reflected in the database causing a mismatch between database and file
metadata.
EXPECTED RESULT
- Not sure the best approach here, if the Database Sync process could be paused
in order to allow the pending metadata changes to occur. Otherwise, either
block metadata changes until the Database sync operation finishes or warn the
user before executing the Database sync operation.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows 11
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- In my setup I have over 250,000 photos, the Database sync process took over
12 hours to complete.
- As mentioned, I have lazy sync enabled.
