Photo Timeline: force update of updated exif metadata, how?

Hello,

I am pleasantly surprised with the new timeline feature in the photo library.
I noticed that some of my pictures/photo’s were wrongly tagged, so I updated exif metadata (with jhead)
However, Plex does not seem to pick up those changes. I tried “Scan library files”, “Analyse” and “Refresh All Metadata” from within the context menu of the library, but changed were not detected.
The only thing that works is

  • removing picture
  • refresh all metadata
  • adding picture again
  • refresh all metadata

Is there no other procedure that this? How to force Plex to read the new metadata? To import my changes in plex, I should remove and add the whole library again, but this is very time/resource consuming. No other way to achieve this?

kind regards,

Bart

Well, that answers my first question. The name change is merely cosmetic, but the bug(s) that necessitate the Plex Dance is apparently unchanged.
