usual workflow for adding photos to my collection is to import
them from my device into a temporary working folder, go through
them and add tags to them, then import from that folder into my
main library. I've been doing this using digikam since I started
using more than a decade ago.
<br>
<br>
At some point I realized that writing the tags to the images was
slowing me down a lot, so I decided not to write metadata to the
images and instead just let it live in the database. This sped
things up considerably and everything worked as expected. When I
would import the images from my temporary working folder into my
main library, the tags would be imported along with the images.
This has worked well for years and through many versions of
digikam. This is was working as recently as January of 2025.
<br>
<br>
However, my most recent attempt to import images from my
working folder into my library resulted in zero tags being
imported. In the import window, I don't see any tags on the
images. They are present when I view the source images in my
working folder, but not in the import window.
<br>
<br>
I have not made any intentional changes to my digikam
configuration since the last time I successfully imported my
pictures.
<br>
<br>
How do I troubleshoot this?
<br>
<br>
I'm running Digikam 8.2.0 on Kubuntu 24.04, installed using apt. I
am not using any external tools to edit or manage the photos.
