--- Comment #17 from Nicofo <nic...@tuxfamily.org> --- Hi Gilles, Correct me if I'm wrong: I was wondering why some attributes are correct and others not after the manipulation described in comment #8 (rename pictures outside of digikam). - attributes that are correct after manipulation: orientation, geotagging, ... Seems to be attributes coming file metadata (EXIF) - attributes that are lost after manipulation: tags or ratings, i.e. attributes NOT in file metadata (added in digikam) My guess: after renaming outside of digikam, renamed pictures are seen as new pictures by digikam. So digikam rereads metadata: - attributes from file metadata (EXIF) are therefore correct again - other attributes (tags or ratings) are lost (or "shifted" from neighbor picture depending on the setting "Clean up metadata from the database when rescan files"). I suppose these attributes, in digikam DB, are attached to a picture that digikam does not recognize anymore because of the renaming and are therefore lost ? Is it correct ? If so, I suppose there is nothing more digikam can do, except automatically reread metadata of files whose name has been changed outside of digikam (which was the main issue when I raised this bug report but is solved since comment #12). Do you agree with that ? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
