[digiKam-users] How to prevent Digikam from ignoring changed Metadata?

[Chris Green]

Well I now have an actual problem with Digikam and Metadata.

I changed the metadata on some pictures in Digikam and then, almost
immediately realised I had overwritten some (fairly unimportant, but
I'd lke to get it back) data on a dozen pictures or so.

No problem I think, I have hourly and daily incremental backups so
I'll copy the old, unchanged, versions back into my Digikam album.

But of course this doesn't work because Digikam keeps the *changed*
metadata in its database and ignores the new metadata from the 'old'
image files.

So how do I do this?  I need to tell Digikam to throw away its
Metadata for a few images and use the metadata in the images.
