How did you do that?
I use digiKam since 3 years now, I compile daily from svn (riskier it cannot
come, I had many, many crashes), I've about 18000 images tagged and I never
lost any tags. In my opinion the most stable thing in digikam is sqlite and
therefore tagging.

Sorry,<br>
<br>
but i lost my tags also two times and so i given up tagging my images.
I don't know how it happened, perhaps it has something to do with not
exactly knowing how tagging works technically and doing something wrong
on my own.<br>
<br>
-> Loosing tags is a serious problem, because it destroys so much
work and this destroys trust into this feature.<br>
<br>
Sorry<br>

PS: I'm managing 13841 photos with digikam.<br>
PPS: I personally don't believe that sqlite is stable, at least not the
way i'm using it. Me and my wife are using on computer with digikam and
the same album library path. So from to time digikam is started twice.
I now the digikam is not designed for that, but thats we way the us it
