In Sindre's first attempt, obviously the digikam3.db file was not found and not
upgraded for whatever reason I cannot find out.

The second attempt highlights a problem with reading tags for which there is no
satisfactory solution: When a file is fully rescanned (all files will after
database upgrade, or when manually requested), tags will be rescanned as well.
When there are cut IPTC tags, they will be created as new.

Note that when a file modification is detected, there is no full rescan of
metadata, to avoid situations like this, cut tags popping up again.

In both situations, there cannot be a perfect solution, because one user will
explicitly want his tags scanned, while the other certainly wants to avoid
that. So we do it once at import.
