Do you mean that if I change exif dates in a file, then digikam will perform a
metadata sync to database and "refresh" data for this image ?

If so, I tried it, and it didn't work. In a folder with ~20 images took in
2014-08-16, I choose "sort by date" under digikam. Then from a shell, I run
"exiftool -AllDates='2008:05:21 13:54:13' IMG_20140816_174711.jpg" on one of
the image. Expected result is that this image should now be the 1st one with
"sort by date" order, but the album view is not modified.
It's only if I select "album / read metadata" that the album view is updated.

If I do the same test again (set date to 2008-05-21) for one image, then move
this image outside of the album (from shell "mv IMG_20140816_174711.jpg /tmp"),
then album is correctly updated and there's one image less.
But now, if I move back the image in the album ("mv
/tmp/IMG_20140816_174711.jpg ."), then the image is still not correctly sorted
at the start of the list.
This looks strange to me, shouldn't digikam rescan the new image when it is
added, why does it keep some previous data and the wrong sort position ? (does
digikam assumes that it's the same image than before just because it's the same
name ?)
