--- Comment #6 from wildcowboy <aegoreev at gmail.com> ---
I have played with the files for a while and here is what I have noticed.
- digikam is unable to save any metadata to some certain images. I have tried
both digikam 4.14 in linux and 5.0.0 in windows. I have tried to play with NTFS
security settings for the files. I have tried adding / removing tags, ratings,
captions, titles, etc.
nothing worked...

but

as soon as I opened the same folder/file in picasa and added a tag, e.g. "test"
digikam got back the ability to save changes into the file. So when I clicked
on "write metadata to file" it deleted the "test" tag added in picasa and wrote
tags, ratings, captions, etc. that are in digikam database.

another thing

when I do all the same but not in picasa but in file properties in windows file
explorer the result is very similar but digikam can't delete the tag "test"
assigned in the file explorer. Digikam will add other tags, ratings, captions,
etc. and it will react on changes but it won't touch the tag "test". The only
way to delete it is to do so in file explorer.

Getting frustrated now. I guess I should try storing my pictures in a different
file system but I am afraid to lose the data. Or maybe I should try doing DAM
on a proper linux machine but again I am afraid to lose the data plus not
everything I normally do with my files can be done in linux
