[Interoperability] Read and Update the Title and Description from the File Metatags

[louxyy]

Hello everyone ! 😃

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am using several apps to manage my photos (DigiKam, Piwigo as a web portal). On my photos, I like to write a title and sometimes a caption if there is a story.
To centralize this information, I write it into the tags of the JPEG file.

And after some tests, Memories cannot retrieve my information from the tag of my photos.

Describe the solution you'd like

1. Add an item menu with named : "update Title & Description from the file"
2. Overwrite the displayed title and description with the values of the file (maybe should update the information in the database)

Why is this feature quite interesting ?

Enhance the interoperability between the tools in two ways. This new feature would allow for processing photos that have been edited by other tools.

Additional context

I edit metatag from Memories by adding a title and description to the photo (click to enlarge the image)

We can see that the information are wrote in the following tags "xmp:title" and "xmp:description" in the file :

oot@cloud:/mnt/nextcloud_data/data/lexa/files/Photos/galleries/Gal_next# exiftool -a -u -G1 1000002529.jpg | grep -i memories
[XMP-dc]        Description                     : Description writed from Memories
[XMP-dc]        Title                           : Title writed from Memories
root@cloud:/mnt/nextcloud_data/data/lexa/files/Photos/galleries/Gal_next#  exiftool -xmp:title -b 1000002529.jpg 
Title writed from Memories

I updated the title

root@cloud:/mnt/nextcloud_data/data/lexa/files/Photos/galleries/Gal_next#  exiftool "-xmp:title=Title modified by exiftool" -b 1000002529.jpg

[XMP-dc]        Title                           : Title modified by exiftool
root@cloud:/mnt/nextcloud_data/data/lexa/files/Photos/galleries/Gal_next# 

The new title updated don't display on Memories

Oops, I just discovered the force option on the index occ command.

I ran the indexing command, but it had no effect; the file's metadata did not appear in Memories. And so I thought that I need to do somthing else or that Memories wasn't able to get the metadata.

In fact, you need to run the indexing command with the force option to force reindexing, even if it has been done before. Memories is able to retrieve the metadata. I thought it happened automatically, but you need to run the scan command. 🙄🙈
