Quite the same problem for me. I would like digikam to display IPTC tags below
the thumbnails in the main window, or at least an configuration option to do
this.

The standard behavior that I experience, is that the IPTC tags do not appear
when opening digikam if they have been added by an external tool (for example:
shotwell).
However, if you open the photo in the editor and _save a new version_, the tags
now appear in the list of keywords. This is not consistent IMHO.

Steps to reproduce: 

1.open another photo tool and tag a photo (should tag the
IPTC.application2.keyword field for example, but _not_ the XMP digikam specific
tags) ; make sure the tag is stored (in my case, I store tags in the picture
file)
2. open digikam
3. go to the album containing the modified photo
4. the tag does not appear below the thumbnail in the list of keywords.

5. open the photo in digikam editor
6. (modify,) save a new version of the photo
7. the tag now appears below the thumbnail

At the beginning, when I started wandering around on the internet searching for
a solution, I thought that digikam would only display the XMP.digikam tags
below the thumbnails.

However, if I edit the same photo after step 3. above, and for example save a
new copy of the modified picture, the IPTC tags appear below the thumbnails. I
assume this is because the IPTC keywords have been copied to XMP fields that
are digikam-specific.
