Bug ID: 468542
Summary: Using Exiftool to update model metadata of camera does
not show within Digikam
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version: 8.0.0
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Metadata-Exif

Image of Digikam showing the properties sidebar and the expected Photograph
properties metadata
SUMMARY
Adding metadata to pictures involving the `Make` and `Model` (using the
external exif tool) does not reflect within Digikam,
If the `Photograph Properties` window of the side-window `Properties` does not
show up before, it does not show up after changing the metadata.
Using Exiftool within the Batch Queue manager (as part of a `User Shell
Script`) similarly does not result in the updated UI window.
If the exiftool results in a new file (e.g. by writing to a new file) then the
metadata is displayed correctly (as expected).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select a file that lacks "Make"/"Model" metadata.
1. Alter camera/scanner exif metadata of a file. E.g. `exiftool -r
-FileSource="Film Scanner" -Make="Epson" -Model="V700 Scanner" $File`
2. Changes do not reflect in Digikam
ALTERNATIVE STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Send a file to the Batch Queue Manager
2. Create a workflow that uses the 'User Script'
3. Create a script that alters the model metadata of the files, e.g.
```
exiftool -FileSource="Film Scanner" -Make="Epson" -Model="V700 Scanner" $INPUT
cp "$INPUT" "$OUTPUT"
exit $?
```
OBSERVED RESULT
Digikam does not show the Photograph Properties` window of the side-window
`Properties`.
EXPECTED RESULT
Digikam to refresh the metadata of the image, and display the metadata as part
of the Photograph Properties` window.
