Hi, i have tagged a bunch of new photos and detected that my rsync backup script didn't transfer the newly tagged files. I checked my settings and testet withe a new import in a test album. Result: The Option "Use lazy synchronization" causes that no tags will be written to the files neither with the button "Write Tags to file" or at closing the digikam app. i then repeated with the option unchecked and then the tags will be synced like in the older versions of digikam. With "lazy": [philipp@blue 2016-08-31-Testalbum]$ exiftool *3123* | grep Portrait [philipp@blue 2016-08-31-Testalbum]$ Without "lazy": exiftool *3123* | grep Portrait Categories : <Categories><Category Assigned="0">Fotografie<Category Assigned="1">Portrait</Category><Category Assigned="1">Tiefenschärfe</Category></Category></Categories> Tags List : Fotografie/Tiefenschärfe, Fotografie/Portrait Subject : Tiefenschärfe, Portrait Last Keyword XMP : Fotografie/Tiefenschärfe, Fotografie/Portrait Hierarchical Subject : Fotografie|Tiefenschärfe, Fotografie|Portrait Catalog Sets : Fotografie|Tiefenschärfe, Fotografie|Portrait Keywords : Tiefenschärfe, Portrait I've attached a screenshot, in which you can see (even after closing an reopening digikam) that the tags are also not displayed in the "edit metadata" dialog. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set the "Use lazy synchronisation" option in digikam 2. Import Photos in digikam 3. Tag the pictures 4. check with exiftool if the tags are correctly written to the files Actual Results: The tags are not written into the files [philipp@blue 2016-08-31-Testalbum]$ exiftool *3123* | grep Portrait [philipp@blue 2016-08-31-Testalbum]$ Expected Results: The tags should be written into the files (Here without "lazy synchronisation") exiftool *3123* | grep Portrait Categories : <Categories><Category Assigned="0">Fotografie<Category Assigned="1">Portrait</Category><Category Assigned="1">Tiefenschärfe</Category></Category></Categories> Tags List : Fotografie/Tiefenschärfe, Fotografie/Portrait Subject : Tiefenschärfe, Portrait Last Keyword XMP : Fotografie/Tiefenschärfe, Fotografie/Portrait Hierarchical Subject : Fotografie|Tiefenschärfe, Fotografie|Portrait Catalog Sets : Fotografie|Tiefenschärfe, Fotografie|Portrait Keywords : Tiefenschärfe, Portrait

Maik, Did you fix this in current implementation with last commits ? Gilles
(In reply to Tobias Philipp from comment #0) > The Option "Use lazy synchronization" causes that no tags will be written to > the files neither with the button "Write Tags to file" or at closing the > digikam app. With "Write Tags to file" you mean not determined the button in the status bar. Automatic writing metadata at the end is corrected (bug 367642). I close this report as duplicate. If necessary, please re-open. Maik *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 367642 ***
Fixed with bug #367642
