<meta http-equiv="x-dns-prefetch-control" content="off">Thanks for your help!<br><br>It seems that on my computer at least, raw metadata in Digikam is broken. I will avoid tagging until I get that figured out - I'll see if I can work it out in another program for tags/keywords in the meantime.<br>
<br>Does raw tags/keywords work for others in Digikam? Can people use the Image/Metadata/Edit IPTC for instance? On mine, I cannot navigate or click on anything in that window on a raw image whereas jpegs are fine.<br><br>

</div>Maybe you want to vote for "digiKam could warn when writing metadata to<br>
pictures fails"?<br>

<br>
I think it is a significant problem if you chose "write metadata to<br>
pictures", but for some reason digiKam can only store the information<br>
in its database.<br>
<br>
I'm sorry for you if you lost a lot of tags.<br>

</div>In any case I recommend making backups from time to time. I use rsync<br>
with snapshots, but not with cron (yet). Similar to this solution:<br><span>
