Bug Description

Noticed a problem today with 64 bit digikam version 4:3.5.0-0ubuntu10.

After uploading images from a camera, I started applying Descriptions and Tags. As soon as Apply was hit, digikam appeared to be doing the apply but then the image(s) disappeared from the Thumbnails and/or Preview Image panes. The images appear to have been permanently deleted (not moved to Trash). I couldn't find them anywhere in the file system.

I tried this several times, restarted digikam, rebooted, etc, but with the same results.

It appears to be related to the writing of the metadata because if I turn off all metadata options (or write the metadata only to a sidecar file) then the image does not appear to ever get deleted.

I have only recently turned on the sidecar option, so the bug might be somehow related to that action.
