--- Comment #21 from Maik Qualmann <metzping...@gmail.com> --- To change the rating externally, the Metadata option "Reread metadata if the files were changed" should be activated. We monitor the directory, which means the new / no longer existing files, changed name and file size is detected. If the file already had a rating, there is no resizing and digiKam will not be notified. Monitoring all files would consume the system resources. It would be possible to monitor only the currently active album completely. We would not notice changes in other albums. But actually you should change the rating in digiKam. :-) If the refresh with F5 takes too long because thumbnails are also rebuilt, try Album-> Reread Metadata from files.
