Thank you for your understanding :)

Yes, file metadata is definitely a missing feature which is already on 
our roadmap. At the moment we are still figuring out ways to dispay and 
search for them in Files, but ideas have already been created [1]. Which 
release will contain this feature is not clear yet, but we see recognize 
its importance and are planning to implement it soon.

As far as I know, tags assigned in digiKam are not stored in the files 
themselves but in digiKams own database. If I remember correctly, there 
are plans to make digiKam use Nepomuk for tagging, but I don't know the 
current status of that effort. But even then we'd still need to 
synchronize Nepomuk data from the computer running digiKam to the PA 
device. We definitely want that synchronization as well, but this will 
probably be a non-trivial matter.

Cross-device photo information management isn't easy in general since it 
typically involves information stored in databases, but I recognize that 
it is very important for users and I am sure it is a problem we'll solve 
at some point.
