Description Dahaniel 2009-10-11 17:19:09 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When updating tags with another program (Picasa in my case) these new tags are lost because Digikam doesn't update them. 
Hitting "refresh album" has no effect and on "sync images with database" the new tags get lost because Digikam is not syncing but writing tags from database to file. 

Sync should work in both directions: db<->file and not db->file as it does now.


However, the metadata sidebar shows tags from file but these are not searchable and don't show up below pictures (as they are not in the database)

Digikam Version is 1.0.0Beta3, I couldn't specify this in the BugWizard

In recent code there is a menu entry "Reread metadata from images" which does what you require here.

Names of actions have been made more precise, as already said above.
