Description meku 2020-10-29 12:09:34 UTC 
SUMMARY
Applying a tag or caption to a group of images using the Captions widget only updates the top (visible) image. The setting in [Miscellaneous >> Grouping >> Metadata >> Perform operations on all group members] is not respected.

Right clicking a group of images and selecting [Assign Tag] DOES work as expected and respects the above settings.

Applying Labels to a group of images DOES also work as expected.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a group of images, leave group closed
2. Select group
3. Use RHS Caption widget to apply a tag.

OBSERVED RESULT
Metadata is only applied to visible image of the group.

EXPECTED RESULT
The setting in [Perform operations on all group members] should be respected, if 'Yes' then metadata should be applied to all images in the group.

To clarify for the Picks and Labels:

Applying Labels to a group of images using the RHS Caption widget _DOES NOT_ work.

Assigning Labels using right click menu or keyboard shortcut DOES apply to all members in the group.

I'll take another look in the days. There was some reason it wasn't that easy to fix.

This bug appeared in 7.1.

Tags, captions, and labels were working as expected in 7.0
Comment 5 meku 2020-10-30 08:21:10 UTC 
Sorry I speak too soon. Behaviour has changed between 7.0.0 and 7.1.0 but neither was correct.

Neither version respected the setting [Perform operations on all group members].

In 7.0.0 it always operated on all group members.

In 7.1.0 and later it never operates on group members.
Comment 6 Maik Qualmann 2020-10-30 08:28:40 UTC 
Yes, I checked last night. I made the change. We always processed otherwise grouped items, the option to ask did not exist. There is also an issue with the new Selected Properties tab. I need to fix it properly.

In Tags manager selecting a group in 7.0.0 would highlight tags from all members, as if you had opened the group and selected all the group members.

From 7.1.0 selecting a group only highlights tags from the top member.
