[Digikam-users] lost all tags on canon raw images

[Jim Dory]

Thanks for your help!

It seems that on my computer at least, raw metadata in Digikam is broken. I
will avoid tagging until I get that figured out - I'll see if I can work it
out in another program for tags/keywords in the meantime.

Does raw tags/keywords work for others in Digikam? Can people use the
Image/Metadata/Edit IPTC for instance? On mine, I cannot navigate or click
on anything in that window on a raw image whereas jpegs are fine.

cheers, Jim
