When I went through the process of adding the tag "Turkey" I tried
both options in the initial window (with and without the initial

<div>James, do you have the slash "/" in the tag you are trying to
add? If so, maybe try it without the slash. Like others, I have
tagged thousands of photos with no issues. I even live
dangerously and write all metadata back to the original files
(not .xmp's) without any issues (so far).</div>

I really do want to like and use DigiKam. It is getting harder
to succeed.<br>
<br>
Several weeks ago, I asked about what to do when DigiKam would
not record and use Pick Labels and Color Labels. I use Windows
10 on a very capable machine. I've upgraded to a couple of git
versions, and now to 6.1.0. I still cannot get these features
to work.<br>
<br>
I'm now preparing to copy several thousand images (prints and
slides) I made in Turkey in 1985-1986. A pick list would be
very useful. I also want to tag images with keywords to help
me find the images I want after they are all digitized. So, I
tried simply to add the word "Turkey" to no avail. I get a
dialogue box that tells me "An error occurred during tag
creation" and" /Turkey failed to add tag to database".<br>
I think these are all related to database management.<br>
<br>
I looking in my D:\Pictures folder and found this file name:
.~lock.digikam4.db# (dated in 02-2019) I renamed it to
.~lock.digikam4.db#.old. Nothing changed in my attempt to add
a tag.<br>
<br>
So, I wonder what is next for me to do.<br>
