Bug ID: 492163
Summary: Creation of orphan sidecars
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version: 8.4.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Tags-Engine
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: myaccount...@protonmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Orphan sidecars are created when moving files without first applying added tags
and also database is not properly updated.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select bunch of photos (or maybe just one).
2. Add tags to photo(s) but do not apply them. Keep selection.
3. Move selected files with unapplied tags to different folder.
OBSERVED RESULT
UI shows that new tags are applied during moving photos BUT:
- Changes seems to be applied only to sidecars at OLD location where is now
orphan sidecars.
- Changes are not applied to sidecars to NEW location where they're with actual
image files.
EXPECTED RESULT
UI and file level behavior should be equivalent: If UI shows that tags are
applied during moving (which saves time in cases there's lots of files as
applying takes time), then they should be applied to sidecars in NEW location,
and no orphan sidecars should be created to OLD location.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This appears to be old bug/behavior and *possible* cause to bug
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458029
Please also tell is there a way to properly update the sidecars in these cases
in NEW location and to avoid old data popping up from there. I have
occasionally manually removed orphan sidecars that's possibly not proper way to
handle these.
