Bug ID: 479512
Summary: Renaming tags with many items and hitting No on "Write
now?" pop-up is not written automatically to file
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version: 8.3.0
Platform: Appimage
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Tags-Manager
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: paul_krause_1...@t-online.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
See steps and observed
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable writing tags to files (Tabs Behavior and Advanced in Settings -
Metadata)
2. Move, or rename, a tag with a large amount of assigned items (prob. 100 and
prop. merging is the same)
3. Hit no on the "Do you want to write the metadata now?" pop-up.
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens.
Thus the change in tags is only written to the files if something else triggers
a metadata write for them.
This leaves an inconsistency between the database and the files and can lead to
data loss (if the files are moved around, already happened to me).
EXPECTED RESULT
The tags are written to the files, at some time, without further user
interaction.
A logical option would be the metadata writing queue, especially if lazy
synchronization is enabled anyway.
