Sentry Crash Report:

Description Knut Hildebrandt 2015-06-02 13:07:26 UTC

Just upgraded my Chakra Linux to the latest KDE 4 including digikam to 4.10.0. When I write the metadata to the XML sitecard files now the entry for the description <dc:description> is missing. Digikam 4.9 still was writing the informaion to the file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enter a description in digicam
2. write it to the XML sitecard file
3. open XML sitecard file in Kate
4. search for <dc:description>

Actual Results:  
<dc:description> is not in the file.

Expected Results:  
<dc:description> should be in the file.

My Chakra is up-to-date.

Nothing has changed in source code about this topic between 4.9.0 and 4.10.0 as i know... 

Where in GUI do you patch comment for your image ? digiKam Comments/Tags from Right sidebar ?

Did you use Exiv2 compiled with XMP support ? Look in Help/Components Info dialog for details.

Did you turn on right option in Setup/Metadata config panel ?

In the Description tab on the right sidebar I fill in Title and Caption.
Title used to be stored in <dc:title> and still is. Caption used to be stored in  <dc:description> but is not anymore.

don't know. But I just see, that kdegraphics-libkexiv2 was updated from 15.04.0-1 to 15.04.1-1 today. Will downgrade and check again. 

> Did you turn on right option in Setup/Metadata config panel ?
I did not change the settings. Following are enabled:

Image tags
Caption and title
Rating
Pick label
Colour label
Timestamp
Metadata templates (Copyright etc.)

Further are enabled:

Write to sidecar files (Write to XMP sidecar only)
Update file timestamp when files are modified

Comment 5 Knut Hildebrandt 2015-06-02 16:37:49 UTC

Well, I just noticed more problems. In digikam I can't save any changes to the metadata anymore. Furthermore Dropbox and Copy.com have severe problems too. Both can't access their sqlite database. Since I made system upgrade today I suppose this somehow fucked up some important components. Will downgrade the system and start all over again.

Comment 6 caulier.gilles 2015-06-02 17:19:19 UTC

Just to be sure, run kdebugdialog to enable debug trace on the console and run digiKam following instructions here :

https://www.digikam.org/contrib

Comment 7 Knut Hildebrandt 2015-06-02 23:16:35 UTC

Ok, downgraded the whole system and installed digikam 4.10 and kdegraphics-libkexiv2 15.04.1-1.

And the sidecar file looks like this again:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Changed all the contents to blabla etc.

Next I will downgrade to 4.9 and run the tests again.

Comment 8 Knut Hildebrandt 2015-06-02 23:36:53 UTC

Well, downgraded again using this command:

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/chakra-common-15.04.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz /var/cache/pacman/pkg/oxygen-icons-15.04.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz /var/cache/pacman/pkg/kdelibs-4.14.7-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz /var/cache/pacman/pkg/kdegraphics-libkexiv2-15.04.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz /var/cache/pacman/pkg/digikam-4.9.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz /var/cache/pacman/pkg/digikam-debug-4.9.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

And ran the same test mentioned in the last post. Now all metadata are written correctly into the sicecar files.

This is the problem : ACDSEE namespace not recognized.

It's libkexiv2 to upgrade, not downgrade. We have patched all libkexiv2 for KDE 4.10.x yesterday evening to include this namespace.

Okay, I try it out as soon as the changes find their way into the Chakra repositories.

But everything works fine again after the downgrade to digikam 4.9.0 and kdegraphics-libkexiv2 15.04.0.

It's normal, ACDSee support have been introduced with digiKam 4.10.0

Comment 19 Knut Hildebrandt 2015-06-24 10:48:08 UTC

Updated my system various times after you committed the changes that should fix the bug, but I still have problems. Please read my last bug report on Chakra Linux regarding the problem:

There still is an issue after update to digikam-4.11.0-1 and kdegraphics-libkexiv2-15.04.2-1. If I change Captions after Title the <dc:description> tag disappears. When I change Title after Captions it reappears again. The same is true for other meta data. If I change them after changing Captions they cause <dc:description> to be written to the sidecar file again. Only changing Caption last makes <dc:description> disappear from the file. Weird.

They whole thread can be found here:

http://chakraos.org/bugtracker/index.php?do=details&task_id=1029

Comment 20 Maik Qualmann 2015-06-24 17:06:35 UTC

Are there any messages on the console when digiKam start from there? Perhaps now is the DB no longer synron with sidecar files that you have edited with digiKam 4.10.0, because the metadata has not been written in the sidecar files.

That's what came out after changing Captions and saving these changes:

Hope this helps.

BTW, right now digikam-4.11.0-1, exiv2-0.24-1 and kdegraphics-libkexiv2-15.04.2-1 are installed and the rest of the system is up-to-date.

Baloo support is activated on your computer. Deactivate ir and try again to see any changes....

Comment 23 caulier.gilles 2015-06-25 07:42:22 UTC

Ben,

The libkexiv2 tarball for 15.04.2 do not include the patch. We have patched the other KDE branch. Did we miss something here ?

Thanks in advance

Hey  Gillles,

Baloo support was NOT activated. Since I thought something was wrong with the configuration  I activated it to just deactivate it immediately after. That caused all meta data to disappear in digikam. Since I wanted to prevent digikam writing these "changes" to the sidecar files I killed it. While restarting it In got following error messages:

Restart with existing old DB:
The database is not valid: the "DBVersion" setting does not exist. The current database schema version cannot be verified. Try to start with an empty database.

Only the second restart brought up this:
The schema updating process from version 4 to 6 failed, caused by an error that we did not expect. You can try to discard your old database and start with an empty one. (In this case, please move the database files "digikam3.db" and "digikam4.db" from the directory "/run/media/knut/Bildarchive"). More probably you will want to report this error to the digikam-devel@kde.org mailing list. As well, please have a look at what digiKam prints on the console. 

Went back to an older version of the database where only the meta data of two albums should have been missing. Unfortunately no tags where shown in digikam for all RAW data pictures (nef) whose meta data had been saved to XMP sidecar files. But In could reimport them from the sidecar files. Now only the Tile and Description of a few pictures are missing, probably because I had changed them with one of the affected versions of digikam and thus they were missing in the sidecar files. The positive side; after reentering them I'll make sure they will be in the sidecar files.

Cheers Knut

Hey Gilles,

would be great if you could patch the other branch. Them I let the Chakra guys know about the fix.

Just noticed a mistake I made. I went back to a version of the database that was older than the above mentioned pictures whose meta data were missing in the database. Thus they couldn't have been in it. Nevertheless they should have been in the XML sidecar files. But there they obviously were missing due to this bug.

Comment 27 Knut Hildebrandt 2015-07-23 16:55:01 UTC

Okay, the bug seems to be fixed. After the last update of Chakra Linux I have digikam 4.11 and libkexiv2 15.04.3 on the system. With these everything works as expected.

Thanks for fixing.

Comment 28 Knut Hildebrandt 2015-09-04 11:02:27 UTC

Just archived a MP4 video with digikam 4.12 using libkexiv2 15.04.3 and there were no meta data written to the respective sidecar file even though the file had been generated. Is this a bug or does this feature not yet exist?

Comment 29 caulier.gilles 2015-09-04 11:13:31 UTC

For video file support about metadat you need Exiv2 library 0.25.0

Okay, then that's the solution to my problem. Chakra until now only provides 0.24. Thanks for your quick answer.
