           Summary: Digikam doesn't update metadata of files already in
                    database, sync only writes db->file not db<->file
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: dm at protzkeule.de


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When updating tags with another program (Picasa in my case) these new tags are
lost because Digikam doesn't update them. 
Hitting "refresh album" has no effect and on "sync images with database" the
new tags get lost because Digikam is not syncing but writing tags from database
to file. 

Sync should work in both directions: db<->file and not db->file as it does now.


However, the metadata sidebar shows tags from file but these are not searchable
and don't show up below pictures (as they are not in the database)
