[Digikam-users] Re: Help migrating tags from Lightroom to DigiKam

[Francis]

My apologies everyone, I just did another test and this time (I don't 
know what I did differently, this is the third time I've tried) the tags 
on the .DNGs did show up, but not the .PEFs.

I will do some more tests and post if I have more difficulties with the 
.DNGs.
