Description MarcP 2021-04-17 12:28:06 UTC 
SUMMARY

I noticed that when I remove an existing face from a picture, the metadata is not saved, so if I re-read that metadata again, the face reappears.

I have to manually Write metadata to file to save the changes.

My configuration is set to all metadata is written to the picture files themselves.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Delete face region from picture
2. Item/Re-read metadata from file

OBSERVED RESULT
The face region reappears in the picture.

EXPECTED RESULT
Nothing. The picture should stay as it is.
