--- Comment #36 from DrSlony <bugs at seeitmyway.org> ---
I get the same problem.

I'm cleaning up my tags, so I create new tag hierarchies and then drag-and-drop
whole albums on the new tag and click "Assign tag" from the popup. Sometimes
this happens with no progress bar, other times I get the "Writing metadata to
files" progress bar. It stays at 0%. When I try to close digiKam, a new window
pops up, "Finishing tasks" and it also stays up perpetually. I have to click
"Cancel".

Upon restarting digiKam usually my changes have been applied, but yesterday I
came across one main tag /subject/* whose files I tried re-tagging with other
tags (e.g. from drag photos from the /subject/flora/fern tag and drop them on
the /plants/fern tag), the perpetual progress bar would appear, I would have to
"cancel" it to close digiKam, upon restarting the new tags were gone, and the
old deletes ones were back. So after restarting, all changes I made to these
files from /subject/* (deleting the old tags, settings new ones) would not get
applied - time lost. I ended up deleting that whole main tag /subject.

I tested just now - created a new tag "foo", dropped seven JPEG photos from tag
"mushrooms" on to tag "foo", the perpetual 0% progress bar appeared, I clicked
X to close digiKam, clicked "cancel", restarted it, and the new tag "foo" was
set.
