Marcel,
In my initial tests, I moved the folder from my laptop to the external 
HDD from within Digikam.

Per your request I retested as follows:
1. Created a new folder, called TransferTest, on the external HDD using 
Dolphin.
2. Started Digikam and created a New Collection using the TransferTest 
folder name.
3. While I was in the Digikam Setting menu, I created a second new 
collection called Transfer_Digikam.
4. On my laptop using Digikam, I created two folders, under the Pictures 
folder called TestCopy and TestMove. In each of these two folders I 
copied 12 identical photos, each having user information and tags.
5. Within Digikam, I left click-hold on the TestCopy folder and moved 
the folder to the TransferTest collection. The files were moved from my 
laptop to the external collection. When I selected the TestCopy folder, 
the photos were all transferred, but there were no visible tags or user 
information.
6. Within Digikam, I left click-hold on the TestMove folder and moved 
the folder to the Transfer_Digikam collection. The files were moved from 
my laptop to the external collection. When I selected the 
Transfer_Digikam folder the photos were all transferred and one photo 
showed visible tags & user information.

I then selected the TransferTest folder and a few photos showed Tags & 
User Information. I then selected the TestMove folder and two more 
photos had visible tags.

I then performed a rescan from within the TestMove folder, but no 
additional tags were displayed.

I then alternately switched between the folders on the external 
collection and several more photos began displaying their respective 
tags. I repeated this process about ten times and eventually the 
TransferTest folder displayed tags on 7 photos and the Transfer_Digikam 
folder displayed tags on 5 photos.

I then shutdown and restarted Digikam with the external HDD connected. 
No additional tags were shown.

I then safely removed the external HDD, using Dolphin, while Digikam was 
still running and then reconnected the external HDD. No additional photo 
tags were displayed in either of the two external collections.

7. I then moved the TestMove folder from the external collection back to 
the laptop. After the folder was transferred, 10 of 12 photos displayed 
tags & user information. Photo #3 & #10 had no tags.

8. I then moved the TestCopy folder from the external collection back to 
the laptop. After the folder was transferred, 10 of the 12 photos 
displayed tags & user information. Photo #10 & #11 had no tags.

9. Switching between the two folders produced no additional tags for the 
remaining two photos.

Please let me know if you need additional information.
Bert
