Bug ID: 448223
Summary: Warning ("Another tag with the same name already
exists") when merging several tags appears too soon
Product: digikam
Version: 7.4.0
Platform: Flatpak
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Tags-Keywords
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: iwannaber...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If you drag and drop a tag to another place of the tree where another tag is
called the same way, you will be asked if you want to merge them. However, in
digikam is not possible to move elements from one place of the tag tree to
another if there is another operation pending.
So, if you drag two or more tags, you will first be asked if you want to merge
the first of them ("Another tag with the same name already exists. Do you want
to merge the tags?"), and immediately after answering Yes, the same popup will
appear for the second one. Answering yes to that one however will show a
warning message and cancel the whole operation.
In order to merge two or more tags you have to accept the first merge and wait
until the progress bar reached 100% to click again on Yes on the popup window.
And repeat that operation for as many tags you are merging. Clicking yes too
soon will cancel the process and the tags will not be written (potentially
desyncing the database and the picture metadata).
I think digikam should wait until the previous operation has finished before
showing the popup again, so no errors are caused if a user clicks "Yes" too
soon. Also, it could show the name of the tag to be merged in the same dialog.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Drag and drop two tags and merge them with other tags.
2. A first confirmation popup will appear ("Another tag with the same
name..."). Click on Yes.
3. Immediately, a second confirmation popup will appear. Click on Yes.
OBSERVED RESULT
A warning message appears saying that the operation could not be completed and
the process is cancelled.
EXPECTED RESULT
Either do not show the second popup until digikam is ready to merge the second
tag, or queue the process so it doesn't ask for confirmation every time.
