Do you really mean that you lose all your tags whenever you upgrade to
a new version? I can't remember that I ever have had that problem when
upgrading to a new version.

Yes, I always lose all My Tags when upgrading major version.<br>

On the other hand, my question was probably not set properly. The
real problem is: how to migrate/transfer the entire digikam scheme
(pictures, My Tags etc.) from one computer to another, or in Linux,
from one user to another 8same or different machines). Because, when
I copy/move pictures and database from one machine to another, tags
are lost. Which digikam files must be copied/moved in order to
proceed further without any loss.<br>

<br></blockquote><div>Well, that is indeed a complete different question. I did many such migrations without any problem i.e. from one computer to another, not from user to user, but that should be not harder.<br><br>I am taking here about linux, so I hope you are on linux too<br>

remove the albums, if they are there from settings->configure digikam->collections and re add them.
