Bug ID: 451697 Summary: Why does digikam do anything to Thumbnails if tags are changed? Product: digikam Version: 7.7.0 Platform: Microsoft Windows OS: Microsoft Windows Status: REPORTED Severity: wishlist Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: steve...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** I am not reporting a bug! This is just me being curious. I have a similar problem Mikkel Kludder, many of my images have hierarchical keywords in IPTC. Everytime I read their metadata I end up with multiple copies of the same keyword in different parts of my hierarchy. All I did was consolidate one of these keywords on 41 images. Digikam is now running a process titled "Thumbnails", which has stopped me doing anything for several minutes. What is this process actually doing? These images already have thumbnails. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Change Tags on several files 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT Digikam displays a message to show that it haas written the keywords, but the process indicator remains active and clicking on its up arrow shows that it is processing Thumbnails. No other actions are allowed until all processes have finished. EXPECTED RESULT Digikam writes metadata and is then ready to perform another task. BTW The display telling one to wait until tasks have finished is inconsistent. It is possible to change tags on images, but not possible to move, or merge tags.
