[Digikam-users] Strange behaviour when writing metadata to images

[Gilles Caulier]

See this upstream report here :

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333565

To resume : if Rygel program is run in background when digiKam DB
opened, this one will be locked and digiKam will only access to DB in
read only mode.

In other word, move Rygel program to the trash and let digiKam work properly...
