Thanks, but that's already fixed in SVN ;-)

"Update Metadata Database" is a strong misnomer. It does not do that. It 
writes tags, rating and comment from db to the file's metadata, sorry.
Currently you can't force a full rescan, the value is for the Properties table 
always taken from database, the Metadata panel just displays all values, does 
not use getLensDescription.
We need to re-organize the synchronize/update methods, but tomorrow is string 
freeze and the planned batch manager is desirable for this as well.
