            Bug ID: 318240
           Summary: Keywords stored in IPTC do not show up in thumbnail
                    preview and are not searchable
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: digikam
           Version: 3.0.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Metadata
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: boogiedownde at yahoo.de

Of all the keywords which are stored in the IPTC (as shown in the metadata
sidebar), only some appear below the thumbnails. If I search for a specific
keyword, picturs which have the keyword are not found. Therefore, it seems the
database does not contain all the keywords which are stored in the pictures.
"Image/re-read metadata from image" usually does not help, neither does
"Album/re-read metadata from albums". However, for some other pictures in other
albums, it does partly work: When I re-read the metadata from an image, SOME
keywords show up, but still not all.
In the settings, I checked "write to sidecar files" and "write to sidecar for
read-only images only". "Read from sidecar files" is not checked. However, I
already experimented with those settings. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open digikam
2.choose an album
3.voilà
Actual Results:  
database useless, pictures not searchable

Expected Results:  
what is written in the IPTC (as shown in the metadata-sidebar!) should be
written below the corresponging thumbnail and should be searchable.

Windows XP, approx. 20.000 pictures.
I used to store metadata both in the IPTC and in XMP sidecars, so most pictures
should contain both.
After trying to re-build the thumbnails, digikam generally seems to become slow
and sometimes unresponsive.
