[Digikam-users] Transfer pics from one pc to another, tags too??

[Gerhard Kulzer]

Have you any means to look into the new digikam.db, for example with sqlite or 
knoda? Then you'll be able to see if the tags are there. 

Start digikam from a terminal, maybe it gives you a hint of what is going 
wrong.
