            Bug ID: 376640
           Summary: Changing tag name does not update sidecar metadata
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.5.0
          Platform: MS Windows
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Metadata-Editor
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: bg+kdex at cyclos.com
  Target Milestone: ---

When I add a tag to an image, the sidecar file is updated as expected. However,
if I change the name of a tag which has already been applied to an image, the
sidecar file is not updated.

Settings
Use lazy synchronization = OFF
Read from sidecar files = ON
Write to sidecar files = ON (Write to XMP sidecar only)

Select an image in thumbnail view.
Create a new tag "tag1".
Click Apply.
Exit DigiKam.
Verify sidecar file includes "tag1".
Start DigiKam.
Select same image.
Right click "tag1" and choose "Properties".
Change Title to "tag2".
Click Apply. (thumbnail shows tag2)
Exit DigiKam.
Sidecar still contains "tag1".

If you do "Album>Write Metadata to Images", the sidecar will update to include
"tag2" as expected.
