[Digikam-users] Digikam looses tags

[Wolfgang Mader]

Hi again,

In the database digikam, the table Tags lists some but not all names of 
people, which used to be sub-tags of the standard tag People. I can show them 
when connecting to the database via sql command line. The strange thing is, 
that the tag People which up to now was always auto-created by Digikam is 
missing.

Those remaining tags have no icon 'Null' instead of a '0' which I guess 
indicates the standard icon, and they are not visible in Digikam. Pictures 
which used to be tagged by those tags simply have not tag any more, and if I 
filter the tag list, I end up with an empty one.

Letting Digikam search the collection for faces does not return a single on, 
and again, not even the standard tag 'Peoples' is created. The list of tags is 
just empty.

Does anyone has an idea what is going on here. Is there any kind of 
incompatibility between the tag database in Digikam 3.3 and 3.4? What should I 
do to get my database back in a state I can trust it?

I can re-tag all images, but if I do so, I would prefer to know, how I trashed 
my tags to not have to do it again.

Thank you for your help.
Best,
Wolfgang

P.s.: I moved all my tag into one folder. If I get images from s.o. which are 
tagged already, I want to keep those tags separated from mine. Might this be 
an issue for Digikam?
