Piotr,

I have take a look with your picture. Nothing is special in your IPTC data:
all is fine.

I have performed 1), 2), and 3), and all work fine here. tags are imported
automaticly in database. The picture is detected properlly...

But i use digiKam 0.9.3-beta1 on my computer... Can you try with this
version or get svn source code ?

Marcel,

The dysfunction sound like something wrong in digikam KIO slave ? Witch
conditions need to be resolved to have a fine auto-detection of new files on
a computer ? I thinking especially about a deamon running in background to
follow directory changes with KDE api.

We using KDirLister class to perform this task, but current doc do not give
more information about how is done the job exactly...
