Created attachment 83090 [details] digikam Crash Log not sure, if this concerns to the bug since digikam did not crash during the "maintainance". Only the data was loss after.
Maintenance/Sync Picture WITH database (not to DB) will update image metadata accordingly with DB content. It use Exiv2 shared library to perform these operations. digiKam do not play with image metadata directly : all is delegate to Exiv2. Please report this problem to Exiv2 project including non corrupted and corrupted images to investigate. Also, please report which information will be sync in images accordingly with digiKam metadata setup. Note : corruption is not reproducible here under Linux. Gilles Caulier
