           Summary: metadata are invisible on older pictures
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: gerhard at kulzer.net


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.3 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I have a strange problem with metadata on images whichs only common denominator
seem to be that they are >3 years old:
If I add captions and/or GPS data to them, the data is written to the images
but does not show up in the thumbnails nor in the popup info. 
I know that the data is correctly written because when I open the metadata
editor all is there in EXIF, IPTC and XMP. 
I checked with exiv2 and exiftool commandline tools: data is there. 
I re-read metadata back from image to database: no change
Bug exists across 3 different camera types.
I have not found a problem with png, just with jpeg.

I don't think this is exiv2 related since writing and reading metadata works
well.
