No Icons for "File has GPS Coordinates"

I have renamed 23 files with the renamer.
IMatch stopped after renaming without an error message (happens very often, even with other activities).
Renaming the files was successful, but now the images in the File Window have no icons for "File has GPS Coordinates".
In the metadata and in the file on disk the GPS coordinates are still present (see "GPS in File Properties.jpg" and "GPS in Metadata.jpg".
The database diagnosis does not show any errors.
A rescan with Shift+F5 and Ctrl+Shift+F5 does not solve the problem.
Where is the problem?

What does "stopped" mean?

A forced refresh will re-read all data and metadata data. If the file has valid GPS coordinates, the icon will re-appear automatically.
IMatch shows the icon when it finds a valid latitude.

Maybe whatever is "stopping" IMatch caused the problem?
Even when you only change the latitude in the Metadata Panel, the globe icon will reappear.
A forced metadata load or even file refresh as you said you did will do this definitely.

But when IMatch "stops" often on your system, maybe there is something like a virus checker causing havoc?
It is very rare that users report that IMatch often stops on their systems, so this may be something that only happens on your PC.
If this happens often on your PC, and even with something simple as renaming files.
Which changes the file system, which is prone to trigger whatever virus-checker you run...

There is not much info to work with in your post.
No log file.
No sample image producing the problem.
When IMatch stops, the log file will tell us what it did when it stopped. Which would be helpful.
