Showing settings in the situation where sidecar files ARE written successfully.
SUMMARY
Digikam 8.4.0, when settings are read & write from sidecars, Write to Item &
XMP sidecar, and "Sidecar file names are compatible with commercial programs"
is NOT CHECKED, then no sidecar file is written.
This is true both when editing the file or metadata in the file (like tags),
then saving, and also when doing "Maintenance" and "Sync Metadata and Database"
in the direction database-> metadata.
When "Sidecar file names are compatible with commercial programs" is changed to
CHECKED, then the XMP sidecar file is written in both of the above cases.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Settings set to:: Read & write from sidecars, Write to Item & XMP sidecar,
and "Sidecar file names are compatible with commercial programs" is NOT
CHECKED, then no sidecar file is written.
2. Edit a photo by changing a tag, changing description, or otherwise changing
the metadata.
3. Note that no sidecar file is created.
4. Repeat the same process, but change "Sidecar file names are compatible with
commercial programs" to CHECKED before editing a file's metadata.
5. Proper sidecar file is now created immediately.
OBSERVED RESULT
As above - no sidecar file created.
EXPECTED RESULT
Sidecar file created.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: Windows 10, Digikam ver 8.4.0.
