           Summary: Moving an Album Folder from one Collection to another
                    doesn't update Information & Tags
           Product: digikam
           Version: 2.2.0
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: bbroek01 at vcn.com


Version:           2.2.0 (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

I have two collections defined, one on my laptop HDD and a second on a external
USB HDD.

Problem:
When moving a folder from the local collection to the external HDD collection,
the folder moves OK but the tags and user information (copyright, etc) is not
visible on the thumbnails.
Performing an image rescan has no effect.
Enabling scan at startup has no effect.
Shutting digikam down & restarting has no effect.

When I move the same folder (described above) back to the local HDD collection,
the tags & user information is visible.

When I copy the photos of the folder on the local HDD collection, and paste the
selected photos to a folder on the external HDD collection, the tags & user
information is transferred & visible.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Move one folder from the local collection to and external drive collection.

Actual Results:  
Folder and photos are removed from the local collection.
Folder and photos are moved to the external collection.
Photo tags & user information are not visible on the external collection.

When the previously moved folder is moved back to the local collection, the
tags and user information is visible.

Expected Results:  
When moving a folder from a local collection to an external collection, I would
expect all tags and user information to move with the folder and be visible.

OS: Linux (i686) release 3.0.0-12-generic
Compiler: gcc
