[Digikam-users] exif data missing

[atze]

Hello,

I have an issue (user problem most likely)

I am using digicam 0.7.4 on SUSE 10.0 with KDE 3.4.2 (level b) and have quite 
a lot ( > 40GB) of pictures. On all my pictures I can read the exif data.

I have now installed SUSE 10.1 with KDE 3.5.1 (level a) one a second Laptop 
and have copied all pictures to this laptop. Using digikam 0.8.1, I can not 
see any exif data !!! (panic)

I have then upgraded to digikam 0.8.2, but the same issue. This leed me to 
belive that I've missed something when I copied the data across. (I've used 
gftp to copy the files across.)

But when I shared the data partition (via samba) and accessing the files from 
the SUSE 10 laptop, the exif data shows ok.

I've also tried to IMPORT the data dir but same result. 

What have I done wrong ?

I really would like to use the latest stable version of digikam, but I need 
the exif data .....

Any help is very very very much appreciated.
