            Bug ID: 368036
           Summary: Lazy Sync doesn't write Tags to file
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.1.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Metadata
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: maillist at tobiasphilipp.de

Hi,

i have tagged a bunch of new photos and detected that my rsync backup script
didn't transfer the newly tagged files. I checked my settings and testet withe
a new import in a test album.
Result:
The Option "Use lazy synchronization" causes that no tags will be written to
the files neither with the button "Write Tags to file" or at closing the
digikam app.

i then repeated with the option unchecked and then the tags will be synced like
in the older versions of digikam.

With "lazy":

Without "lazy":
exiftool *3123* | grep Portrait

Tags List                       : Fotografie/Tiefenschärfe, Fotografie/Portrait

I've attached a screenshot, in which you can see (even after closing an
reopening digikam) that the tags are also not displayed in the "edit metadata"
dialog.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set the "Use lazy synchronisation" option in digikam
2. Import Photos in digikam
3. Tag the pictures
4. check with exiftool if the tags are correctly written to the files

Actual Results:  
The tags are not written into the files
[philipp at blue 2016-08-31-Testalbum]$ exiftool *3123* | grep Portrait
[philipp at blue 2016-08-31-Testalbum]$

Expected Results:  
The tags should be written into the files
(Here without "lazy synchronisation")
exiftool *3123* | grep Portrait
