Color label forced when setting rating

Software digiKam
1

Pretty much explained in the title. I’m on digikam 8.4.0 (in Manjaro KDE, installed from ‘extra’ repo)
For instance, if I set a rating of 1, a purple label is automatically assigned, with a rating of 2 a blue label is set, etc.

I’ve been using digikam (in this setup with Manjaro) for a long time (not so much in the last few months, actually, so I’m not able to clearly pinpoint when this bug popped out).

It doesn’t happen 100% of times. Sometimes it doesn’t. But quite consistently it happens most of the time I set any rating. Confirmed both on raw files (Canon CR2) and JPGs.

I’m on Manjaro, with KDE Plasma 6.0.5:

Seems also related to this topic but that thread didn’t go anywhere.

This is a known issue. Don’t remember exactly, but it was something about fixing a bug, and then not being able to automatically fix the wrong settings that it left behind. The fix is to go into settings, click “Load Profile” on this screen and select either “digikam.dkamp” or “darktable.dkamp”.

Thanks a lot :wink:

Not exactly knowing what this loaded profile does, is there the risk that it reverts some custom settings about metadata that have been changed?
Or any other risk in general?

If it’s a known issue, does anyone have some reference to read about it? I couldn’t find much around (kinda nothing in some 15 mins searching…) except this other thread here, linked above :point_up_2:
