           Summary: digiKam seems to be rewriting Metadata even if no
                    change is made.
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.2.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: omidlink+bugs.kde.org at gmail.com


Version:           1.2.0 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

Every time any of the dialog boxs corresponding to the menu items under
Image/Metadata is opened and closed, even if no change has been made to the
Metadata of the selected pictures, digiKam seems to be writing to disk, a
process that is very time consuming if the number of selected pictures is
large.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Select a few pictures. Go to Image/Metadata/Edit EXIF or Edit IPTC or Edit XMP.
Close the window without making any changes. Notice that the pictures are being
updated although no change was made.

Actual Results:  
Metadata seems to be re-written to disk.

Expected Results:  
No writing should be done when no change is made.

OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.32-37-generic
Compiler: cc
