Agree, just tested...

Comment 2 Simon 2009-12-28 17:09:48 UTC
Will this eventually be fixed? Would be nice. It's a nuisance having to unselect the images to make digikam writing the changes to the images, selecting all of them again and _then_ moving it to another directory.
Comment 3 Marcel Wiesweg 2009-12-29 14:46:39 UTC
The easy workaround is to press "Apply".

It should eventually be fixed, but it's not easy - the view doesn't know what happens to any drag operation started.
Comment 4 caulier.gilles 2011-03-11 11:24:39 UTC
This entry still valid ?

Gilles Caulier
Comment 5 Simon 2011-03-12 16:52:19 UTC
a) I select the images, enter a caption, and move them to a different directory. Digikam asks: Apply changes? I say yes, yet nothing is applied.
b) Same, but with «Don't ask» enabled. Same result.
Comment 6 marcela maslanova 2011-07-21 20:46:18 UTC
I have 1.9.0 and it seems to behave differently. I copied files from one directory to another and caption stayed with question Move or Copy.
Comment 7 caulier.gilles 2011-12-14 09:17:59 UTC
Simon,

This file still valid using digiKam 2.4 ?

Gilles Caulier
Comment 8 Simon 2011-12-14 09:19:55 UTC
I'm still on 1.9 here on Debian sid, with broken Marble ...
Comment 9 Simon 2012-08-08 14:42:14 UTC
PS: Still there after 3 years in 2.6.0.
Comment 10 caulier.gilles 2012-08-08 16:52:12 UTC
Simon,

Just for testing, to see if it's a problem in your DB file, If you create a new user account on you computer, and you run digiKam 2.6.0 from scratch with few image in collection, can you reproduce the problem ?

Comment 11 Simon 2012-08-08 19:32:18 UTC
I have re-installed the whole system several times since, on multiple computers, this one has a plain new DB (created with 2.6.0) and not one updated from 1.0.0 ;)

Maik,

What do you think about this old report. Work around is to press Apply in this workflow, as Marcel comment #3.

Comment 22 2024-08-25 14:32:58 UTC
Ability to move files directly to new location considerably saves time when handling many pictures as writing occurs during move process and doesn't have to be waited to finish while handling next bunch of pictures. While digikam has lots of features, they generally lack usability and having this possibility improves it. 

At 8.4.0 UI shows updated tags at new location but there's sidecars at two locations with including differing data which potentially later corrupt data.
