[digiKam-users] Hierarchical tags, how are they stored?

[woenx]

Ok, last post, I promise.

I noticed that these pictures that don't get update, still contain tags from
the previous hierarchy.

For instance, Let's say I have a set of pictures like this:

[ ] Kanada
    [ ] Ontario
        [x] Toronto

But I realize my mistake, create a new hierarchy with the correct spelling
"Canada", and I drag and drop "Ontario" into the new "Canada". So now it
should be:

[ ] Canada
    [ ] Ontario
        [x] Toronto

and appears as such in the database. But if you check any of the picture's
metadata, it still appears as:

lr:     hierarchicalSubject = Kanada|Ontario|Toronto

This is clearly a bug. If I manually write the metadata to file, it finally
gets updated to:

lr:     hierarchicalSubject = Canada|Ontario|Toronto

So apparently metadata is not written to files if the immediate parent tag
in the hierarchy has not been updated for any specific file?
