           Summary: Problems with photos without EXIV data when updating
                    metadata of all photos
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: krienke uni-koblenz de


Version:           0.9.1-rc1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          gcc 4.1.2 
OS:                Linux

I selected menu "Tools->Sync all pictures metadata" to synchronize all the metadata that are in the database with the metadata that are in the photo files.

For most of the photos this workes fine. However I had some JPG photo files that do not have any metadata in them (probably removed by another tool). However I had tags set on them and I chose to store the tags in the files IPTC metadata. After the synchronisation the photo still did not have metadata and there was no warning that the sync process did not work for this photo.

So the problem is, that the tags set on the photo were not stored inside the photos metadata and there was no warning that this could not be done.
