[Digikam-users] Migration problems - Digikam 1.8 to 2.0

[Philippe Clérié]

It has not been an issue yet, because I never bothered with tags. However, I 
recently decided to bite the bullet and use them. I'm still trying to get 
them in my workflow. 

However, recent postings on the list have made me a little anxious about 2.0 
or 2.1 (I am using 1.9). Hence my question. 

Apparently some people are having problems and the proposed work-arounds are 
not quite what I expected. 

Hope that helps.
