           Summary: many (but not all) tags have been lost after multiple
                    albums facility added
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jjm at keelhaul.me.uk


Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I've been running digikam from KDE4 trunk for some time, and had about 60000
images tagged with about 250 tags in total.

Late last year, IIRC, the multiple albums feature was added.  When this first
appeared I set the collection path appropriately, a single "Local Collection"
with the same path as before.  After doing that, all of the image files seemed
to be still present but many of them (but not all) had lost their tags and do
not show up in a tag view or search.  The tag totals seem to be correct.

See the attached screenshot (some details redacted for privacy) for an
illustration of this happening.  If the numbers in brackets are correct there
should be 71 files with the tag "Mountain Passes", but only 7 are shown.

Browsing to an image, in the album or calendar view, that was previously tagged
with this tag shows that it now has no tags at all.  This seems to be the case
for all affected files - either all previous tags remain intact, or they all
disappear.

Please don't tell me I have to go through and tag all of my images again... ;-(
