When doing a regular database update from a subdirectory, only the current directory will be processed, which results in quick update. When editing tags a full database update follows which takes significantly longer.

To Reproduce

Regular / expected behaviour:

  • Go to a an album subdirectory and press u
  • Contextual database update starts and finishes quickly

When tag editing:

  • Edit one or more tags in an album directory and press save
  • Full database update starts and takes long to finish

The desired behaviour is that saving tags also initiates a local / contextual update only for the current (sub)directory.

Tested on 0.9.2.

    This should work as expected on 0.10, please reopen if this is not the case.

    When ?

    1. pressing 6, go to tag editor.

    2. There are 3 columns, "Directories", "Tag types", "Tags

    3. Do you editing

    4. The tags change and the column "Tags" is marked with "<".

    5. To confirm the changes press "y".

    I would expect only a "contextual update" to happen. Instead a full database update starts and take too long to finish.

    I'm currently on 0.10.1 and it appears that it is not working as intended yet. Editing tags and saving still results in a full database update.

    Please let me know if you need any other information.
