            Bug ID: 326112
           Summary: Moving an album (directory) loses sidecar files and
                    metadata for cr2 files
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: digikam
           Version: 3.2.0
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Metadata
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: kdebugs at i-pi.com

I just spent a bunch of time tagging and captioning images.  Once done, I used
a drag and drop operation from one digikam window to another to move the
album(directory) from the "needs tagging" directory to the "done" directory. 
All of the metadata associated with the .cr2 files disappeared.   This means
that the metadata associated with the raw files is now gone.  Unfortunately,
there's no metadata copy function in Digikam up to this version.  I used
Digikam to do the move because I had expected it would move the metadata in the
database, but that did not occur (it used to).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tag images of different types (including raw files) in an album(directory)
2. Move album from one location to another
3. Look at the metadata after the move.
Actual Results:  
Metadata associated with .cr2 files disappeared.  Most, but not all, of the
metadata was stored in the .xmp file, which helped me recover.  It's weird that
some metadata appears completely gone.

Expected Results:  
Metadata should have been transferred with all files.
