Description CM 2025-11-13 06:20:02 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make sure to have lazy synchronization on and have all the prerequisites for face detection and recognition
2. Select suggestions for people recognized and "Reject this suggestion"

OBSERVED RESULT
The action results in files getting queued for metadata writing. Status bar shows "#### files await synchronization"

EXPECTED RESULT
I would expect no files needing to get metadata changes written from that action, but maybe a database update.

Additional comment: I wonder if this results in any face tagging work getting wiped out in the process.

"#### files await synchronization" : "####" is the numbers of files to process, not a wrong formatted string. Right ?

Yikes. Do we know what gets modified in this scenario?
Comment 5 CM 2025-11-13 06:53:29 UTC 
Is the fix available to try on a daily build?
Comment 6 CM 2025-11-13 06:55:53 UTC 
Nevermind. I don't know why the comments didn't show up when I first clicked on the link. Got my answers.
Comment 7 caulier.gilles 2025-11-13 06:58:40 UTC 
Yes fixes are in the daily build: https://files.kde.org/digikam/
Comment 8 Maik Qualmann 2025-11-13 07:00:34 UTC 
In principle, nothing was changed in the metadata, but it was rewritten.
