            Bug ID: 309243
          Severity: normal
           Version: 2.8.0
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
           Summary: Reread metadata does not remove tags from database
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: b3nmore at googlemail.com
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: Metadata
           Product: digikam

I've noted this problem, because I sync my image files between two machines via
rsync and changes in metadata made on one machine are only partially reflected
by digikam on the other machine.
The only solution I found yet, is to force digkam to rebuild its db by deleting
it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Take an image with tags known to digikam
2. Remove a tag outside of digikam (e.g. digikam on a different machine) from
the image.
3. Reread the metadata of this image in digikam.
Actual Results:  
The metadata viewer shows that the tag indeed has been removed. But the whole
tag infrastructure of digikam (filter, view by tag, etc.) still links this tag
to the image.

Expected Results:  
Reread should update digikams db not only when a tag is added, but also when it
is removed.

What I would like to see: If an image time stamp has changed (e.g. because the
metadata has been modified), digikam should detect this upon startup and reread
the metadata (and update the db) automatically.
