Description Peter 2022-12-02 07:21:44 UTC 
SUMMARY
Unexpected behavior when changing captions in bulk, in case the photos have captions in different languages.
When changing the captions of several images, digiKam does not only change the captions of the selected language, but all language captions set for the image.

Explanation:
Three images (img1, img2, img3), the photos show portraits of students
Use languages: x-default and hu-HU
settings img1
hu-Hu: A

settings img2
hu-Hu: B

settings img3
hu-Hu: C

now change language: x-default
select all three pictures (img1, img2, img3)
settings: img1, img2, img3
x-default: student

Apply changes

RESULT
digiKam has changed all subtitles for all languages!
img1:
hu-Hu: A
x-default: student

img2
hu-Hu: A
x-default: student

img3
hu-Hu: A
x-default: student

EXPECTED RESULT
In the case of a group selection, the subtitle will only change in the selected language:
img1:
hu-Hu: A
x-default: student

img2
hu-Hu: B
x-default: student

img3
hu-Hu: C
x-default: student

We've discussed this many times before. If you select several images and change the title and captions, it can be assumed that the data should be synchronized. If the content differs the text appears as disabled, I look up the relevant bug report.
