Description Ian Hubbertz 2009-11-10 22:08:30 UTC
Version:           1.0.0-beta4 (using KDE 4.3.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Howto reproduce:

1. Select a large amount of images.
2. Tag them with some tag.
3. Select some other images.
4. Tag them, too. (I tried with another tag, but I assume the behaviour is same, if the same tag is added).

---> Result: The first tagged images have not all been updated with the tag information (image metadata).

Database was correct for me, but updating the database finished before I started bullet 4.

It seems that the running background job ("adding metadate to image files") is cancelled as soon as the new is started.

If you tag by drag-and-drop or context menu, this bug should be fixed.
There may still be issues with the Caption/Tags sidebar.
Comment 2 Marcel Wiesweg 2010-03-17 19:44:40 UTC
The caption/tags problem is the same as for 206127
