DigiKam-6.0.0 cleans up the database on a re-read metadata when all 8 metadata write options are enabled. As a workaround, you could disable a write option. Reading from image and sidecar I see not as a good option. We will come up with something.

It seems if "Read from sidecar" is enabled then the Metadata viewer still does not show certain metadata such as dimensions or GPS, even when this is in the sidecar.

GPS information from the sidecar are only available in the XMP tab from metadata viewer. I think we can now close the bug, it is now possible to re-scan the files and keep the old information in the database. Maik The new FFmpeg video EXIF parser must always read from the image. With the new option in the setup to clean up metadata, this behavior has also become clearer. I close the bug now. Maik |
