            Bug ID: 376825
           Summary: Tag displays do not display correctly after new
                    database is selected
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.5.0
          Platform: MS Windows
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Tags
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: bg+kdex at cyclos.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Two different sequences cause the tags browser pane and the tags edit pane to
not display existing tags correctly.

First sequence
--------------
Launch digiKam with an existing database.

In Settings>Configure digiKam>Database select a different database which
already exists. When prompted, choose to "Use Existing File".

Tags browser pane and Tags edit pane are missing some tags which exist in the
2nd database.

Quit digiKam and re-launch. Tags now appear correctly in both panes.


Second sequence
---------------
Launch digiKam with an existing database.

In Settings>Configure digiKam>Database select a location for a new,
non-existing database. When prompted, choose to "Create New Database".

Add a collection which contains some photos.

Select a photo in the thumbnails view.

Create a new tag in the tags edit pane.

Tag is not displayed in the edit pane or in the tags browser pane. (However, if
you try to create the tag again, you will get an error that the "tag already
exists" even though it is not displayed)

Quit and re-launch digiKam and new tag appears.

---

Note that this problem does not occur consistently for all databases and
photos. However, when it does occur, it is completely repeatable. I have a
database with 200 tags and it consistently displays 197 tags after I switch
databases. Quit and relaunch will correctly display all 200 tags. I have not
been able to determine a rule for which tags are not displayed.
