Description mahikeulbody 2024-02-12 10:08:00 UTC

SUMMARY
Metadata side viewers (iptc, xmp, exiftool, ...) are not updated when you do Item/Re-read metadata from a file which has been modified externally after Digikam startup. You need to select another picture and then back to the modified one.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open Digikam, select a picture and open the metadata side xmp viewer
2. modify/add an xmp field of the picture with exiftool command line
3. do Item/'Re-read metadata from file' on the selected picture

OBSERVED RESULT
There is no change on the metadata side xmp viewer panel.

Pressing F5 must do the job.

There is also a disk changes observer configurable on Collection settings. It must be disabled on your computer.

> Pressing F5 must do the job.

I was not searching solutions, they are obvious, I wanted just to notice a cosmetic bug : one expects 're-read metadata from file' updates the metadata viewer. Feel free to fix it or not, of course.
