            Bug ID: 295923
          Severity: normal
           Version: 2.5.0
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
           Summary: File alway changed even if no metadata should be
                    written to it
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: michal at thoma.cz
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: Metadata
           Product: digikam

Set configure metadata for example to write descriptiona and title to files and
no to write keywords/tags.

Now browse to some writeable image. Change keyword - file is altered (file size
chages).

This should not be happening. If there is no change in metadata which is
selected for synchronize, there is no need to change anything in file, It only
makes tagging of multiple images very slow and also fault prone.

Only viable workaround now is not to write any metadata to files.
