SUMMARY When using multiple instances of digiKam with one central Mysql database changes to tags get visible only after restart of digiKam. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open two different digiKam instances connecting to the same Mysql database 2. Rename or add tags in one instance OBSERVED RESULT 1. Tags won't be visible in other instance until digiKam is restarted. EXPECTED RESULT 1. digiKam should check if new tags have been added or tags been renamed and refresh database entries. 2. This may also be true for other data stored in Mysql database.
See also Bug 146865 For systems that support DBus, there is an interface in digikam that informs other digiKam instances about changes. This currently works on the same machine, but not over the network. Maik *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 460648 ***
