            Bug ID: 366247
           Summary: Digikam writes metadata to some files only not every
                    one
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.0.0
          Platform: MS Windows
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Database-Maintenance
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: aegoreev at gmail.com

I have a folder with 60 JPGs,
none of them are read only;
all of them are full access for all users in NTFS properties;
every single picture has a tag.

However,
if I sync the metadata to images, I can see that only 23 pictures have tags
written to the metadata, the rest have a sidecar file (xmp)

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add tags to multiple images in digikam
2. Write metadata to images
3. Open windows file explorer, go to file properties - details - tags


Actual Results:  
Some images have tags, some don't

Expected Results:  
Every image you add a tag in digikam to should have a tag in file properties 

I think the malfunction happens not every time. I did not check every single
file in other folders but I took a quick look at they seem to be fine.
Star ratings have been written to metadata without errors.
All starred images have tags written to metadata.
All pictures with faces detected have tags written to metadata.
The bug might be related to Bug 361378 - Tags are not being removed from files
metadata
I tried to switch the lazy synchronization on and off but the result is the
same.
I tried to remove one tag and add it again but the result is the same.
