By "make changes" I mean change metadata and/or tags (which are
metadata really).

Well I thought that's what I was doing but it doesn't seem to work.
When I change tags on one system the changes don't seem to get to the
other sytstem.

How do you copy the changes from your laptop to your parents' system?
I'm using rsync with the --update option.

No, I don't mean the configuration.


I'll do some more trials of a few changes on one system, copying the
files and then looking to see how things are on the other system.
