Metadata is not saved in single-image mode
If you save metadata in the single image view mode, they are not actually saved.
If you go to the browser mode, you can see that the metadata is not preserved thereafter.

Re: Metadata is not saved in single-image mode
Settings : General, File operations, ...you need to save image to save metadata
you can change the settings
Pierre, is there a quality loss when saving image this way ?
so, it would be better to avoid using this method ..

Re: Metadata is not saved in single-image mode
you recompress the data, so for JPEG yes.
Or perhaps i can a 'Write' button?

Re: Metadata is not saved in single-image mode
Yes, a "Write metadata" button.

Re: Metadata is not saved in single-image mode
Solved
"Write" button is ok
But what is the use of "Apply" button ?

Re: Metadata is not saved in single-image mode
A good question. I have edited this reply, since my original comment was wrong.
"Apply" saved your changes in the program's internal copy of the image metadata. You can even view one image next or previous and the changes are still there, but not yet saved to disc until you select "save". There is no warning if you do not save.
I think it should be changed to either
- remove the "apply" button, or
- set the "edited" state so the user can be warned
