<br>
<br>It sounds like the metadata writing pipeline is locked somewhere.
<br>Which kind of files do you want to tag exactly ?
<br>
<br>Also, we need to see the debug traces done in background while tag
<br>operation. download Microsoft DebugView program, and run it before the
<br>digiKam session. See here for details :

<br>> All right. I've broken DigiKam once again.
<br>>
<br>>
<br>> I wish I knew how I do this so I can avoid doing it. It has been more than a year since the last time it broke, and I can't remember how to fix it. And I don't think it broke the same way.
<br>>
<br>>
<br>> I'm working in Windows 10 using SQLite. I recently updated from DigiKam 7.7.0 to 7.9.0 to see if that would fix the problem. It did not. I had to manually update exiftool from 12.42 to 12.58.
<br>>
<br>>
<br>> Symptom: adding tags to images appears to work, but the progress bar for "Writing metadata to file:" stays at 0% and never finishes. Thumbnail images don't display. Images can be seen in preview. DigiKam app says it is not responding.
<br>>
<br>>
<br>> Efforts: rebooted Windows. Restored database files to previous version (only two days ago was available).
<br>>
<br>>
<br>> Have I corrupted the database files? Can I get Digikam to rebuild them? Are all 4-5 of them compromised? What is my best course of action?
<br>>
<br>>
<br>> Thanks for all of your collective knowledge & assistance.
<br>>
<br>> Nadine H
