[Digikam-users] Re: Problem with deleted directory

[Alf Felis]

Thank you for your reply.

In my settings I have set the parameter for writing the metadata to
file. These keywords are all visible in the IPTC/XMP tabs.

But it seems that not all keywords could be found if I delete the DB
file to regenerate the DB from the files.

Sometimes only one of e.g. three keywords can be found.

Is this a known bug?


Regards,

Alf
