            Bug ID: 382363
           Summary: Author templates are not stored in database [tied to
                    user and sometime even computer]
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.6.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Database-Multiusers
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: dev at illwieckz.net
  Target Milestone: ---

Currently, authors templates are stored as `digikam\template.xml` file in user
profile which is tied to user per se (and on Windows, on a throwable place
which is also tied to computer, see #382358).

It means thant on a multi user scenario, one user can add new people labels and
everyone can use and apply them, but if one user adds one author template, no
other user can set it on a photo.

The author template contains metadata to be set on pictures, and is kind of
metadata itself. The same way you can set a people name on a face by browsing
the tag list, you can set an author from the author drop-down list, but this
author list is not stored in database so unlike people tag list, author list is
not shared among users.
