Description harald.aust 2020-01-25 16:33:41 UTC

SUMMARY
It has happened to me several times that after having deleted all entries from Edit Metadata / IPTC, the item's tags were not displayed correctly anymore (i.e. neither an empty list nor the data from XMP:subject, one of which I would have expected). Instead, a list of tags was displayed that may or may not have been assigned to the item at an earlier time.

Unfortunately, I have not managed to reproduce this issue reliably, but would like to let you know anyway.

For me the question arises, where was an empty list or empty item tags? You have to remember that digiKam can create tags from many different metadata fields.

Maik,

All the pictures I am currently experimenting with originally contain the same tags both in iptc:keywords and xmp:subject. I have then "done something" with these tags (added, deleted, modified); in digiKam, but potentially also outside of digiKam. I purposely only ever modified these two locations but don't know what other places might have been also modified.

I then went to "Edit Metadata / Edit IPTC" and deleted all the tags there. Which sometimes (but by no means always), under "digiKam properties", resulted in a list of tags that was neither empty nor corresponding to the tags shown under "Edit Metadata / Edit XMP".

I am sorry I have not been able to reliably reproduce this. Also, it is a rather artificial scenario not likely to happen in real use, which is why I consider this issue of minor importance. But wanted to let you know about just the same.

Best regards,
Harald

I have tried to provoke this problem again but have not succeeded.
