--- Comment #41 from Elle Stone <ellestone at ninedegreesbelow.com> ---
I updated digikam to 4.12.0, made a test database, and started adding and
rearranging tags. 

Adding, deleting, and rearranging tags and tag trees, and then using
Tools/Maintenance/Sync Metadata, choosing "Database/From database to image
metadata" seems to work just fine, but I'm planning to do more testing just to
see if things get out of step.

I haven't finished checking Image/Write and Image/Read metadata and I haven't
checked changing the orientation. Are there any specific checks I should try? 

What should happen when syncing an image or the entire database from the image
to the database? What about if I edit a tag directly in the xml file and then
sync from image metadata to database?

I'm assuming that when digiKam is set up to read and write metadata only from
the sidecar files, that reading and writing from the "image" really means
reading and writing from the xml file, if there is one, and otherwise read from
the image and create the xml file?
