        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org

When tagging photos in the collection, eventually covering multiple albums
sometimes only few pictures are actually changed. 
At the moment you can choose  to let changes directly be written to file or
store them in the database only via the configuration menu - write tags to
keywords. After finishing you can sync the database and all metadata is
rewritten. This is quite time consuming when the collection is big. So an
additional field in the database "Changed since last sync" might be useful to
speed up the process by writing only to the files with changed metadata. 
At the moment you have to change the settings, choose the write to file
options, sync every album where you changed something and turn off write to
file for speed reasons again. 

Is this possible?
