Guys,

I've been following this thread for  the past few days. I'm happy to
see this much activity.
I am fully alligned with Daniel, with respect to the usecase. I also
fell for the deceptive "Synchronize All Images with Database"

On some level it is amusing that we were fooled on 3 levels:
1) the unclear description of the action
2) the warning, which indicated that the metadata would be updated
3) the result, where the images were not updated...

I checked for the Read metadata from file to database. Took me a while
to find it. It was indeed cleverly hidden. But I'm impressed the
function is already there.  I agree that Marcels proposal is the way
forward. Alternatively the two can be merged in the tool menu, as
"Synchronize Image tags with database" (to keep the number of items in
the menu down)
Then a popup where you can specify
-write database info to image tag
-write image tag info to database

Unfortunately, I'm still on  digikam 2:0.10.0-1ubuntu. But I look
forward to testing the result when ubuntu puts out a newer version.
Will it be feasible to add a batch function to move the timestamp of a
batch of images foreward or backward (so we don't need exiftime
anymore)

Regards,

Bert
