           Summary: impossible to clear comments in metadata
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: rom1v yahoo fr


Version:           0.92 (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

In Configuration > Metadata, I enabled "save image comments in metadata" (the translation may not be exact), to save comments in image metadata.

Before putting a comment on image.jpg, I computed its md5sum (md5sum image.jpg).
If I add a comment, the md5sum changes, so it seems ok. If I change the comment, the md5sum changes again. But if I remove (clear) the comment, the md5sum stay the same (so no modification in the file).

So it is not possible to clear a comment in metadata... (even if the database of digikam seems to remember the clear, the file doesn't)
