[digiKam-users] Am I doing the something wrong?

[digikam at 911networks.com]

Finally, I have tracked it down.

It's DK and the settings:

DK: setting: lazy synchronization: ON

The XMP is written to disk when I exit DK. DK doesn't track the file
synchronization to the new album. It still writes it to the original
directory.

To file a bug: which section to do it under?

Thanks
