Description red72 2016-08-17 10:33:03 UTC

I have been using digikam for many years and writing labels (ratings, colors, etc) to xmp sidecars.  I cannot get them to write now after many hours of trying.  I think the problem started when I updated to Ubuntu 16.04 back in May but I am not sure of that as I just noticed.  I had both digikam 4.12 and 5.01 installed and neither worked.  I uninstalled both and reinstalled 5.01 and still does not work.  It is writing to the digikam database because the ratings are still there after I close and open digikam.   Under the configuration menu I have played with every every combination of writing metadata with no luck.

Reproducible: Always

start digiKam from a console. What do you see as debug trace while you try to repeat the operation with different settings.

Nothing happens in the colsole.  In the bottom right corner of digikam I get a message that says "Assign Image Rating".  When I quit digikam I get the following.

I forgot to mention in my first post, that I think I had a error when I first installed digikam.  I did a few google searches and got digikam working with someone's suggestion.  I looked through my history and could not find anything about the error.   Sorry.

Can you reproduce the problem using digiKam Linux AppImage bundle ? The last
bundle is available at this url:
