[digiKam-users] Status on "No support to resync GPS data from digikams database into into jpg files" ?

[Maik Qualmann]

In metadata settings, enable the option "Clean up metadata from the database 
when rescan files". Perform a reread of the metadata (Item menu) for the 
images in question. Then the "Clean up" option should be deactivated again.
