           Summary: Tags, comments, author, etc. not written to metadata
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.2.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Metadata
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: alyosha.be at gmail.com


Version:           1.2.0
OS:                Linux

It appears that tags, comments, and authors (basically everything in the
"Captions/Tags" sidebar) are not saved as EXIF or whatever metadata but rather
written to the databases.

I tested this by setting the fields to a certain image, then moving the
databases to

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find a picture and set some "Captions/Tags" fields (set a tag and a
comment).
2. Close digikam and move the digikam database files one directory level
higher.
3. Open digikam and find that the metadata is lost.
4. Move the database files back to where they were.
5. Open digikam and find that the metadata is back.

Actual Results:  
It is demonstrated that metadata such as comments and authors of the the
comment (and tags too) is stored in digikam database files.

Expected Results:  
Digikam should have stored metadata such as comments and authors of the comment
(and tags too) in the file's metadata.
