[Digikam-users] Tag issues

[Gerhard Hoogterp]

Hi,

After a switch to opensuse I lost all my digikam settings under which the tag 
database. Luckily I use to write the metadata to the files and as such it 
should be just a matter of rereading the metadata.. or so I thought..

As far as I can see I have two options.. Reread an album or use the 
maintanance option under tools which takes forever and I gather that means it 
does all the images it knows of. I just let it run for a night..

Anyhow, neither of these options reads back the tags correctly. Take an image. 
The info tab shows for IPTC

( I cleaned up the  XMP a bit)

The tag should be Subjects -> Landscape. Digikam imports ¨My Tags". Nothing 
else.  In other case it ignores the tags in the image completely and doesn 
even use the My Tags.

As for now I´m wondering which fields digikan tries to read for rereading the 
tags and if this is a knows issue.

As for the distro, it´s opensuse 12.3, fresh install with all the patches, but 
no time yet to screw up basic software.. 

Thanks,
 Gerhard
