If you want to verify whether tags are written to images or not you could try
other software reading those images:

1) If you have "exiv2" installed (on linux) type on command line:

      exiv2 -p x MyNicePicture.jpg

This should list lots of data, include a line like:

      Xmp.digiKam.TagsList     XmpSeq  3   People/Jon,Place/Home,Other/Flower

This tells you that digiKam wrote these three tags into the JPG-File.


2) You could also open the JPG-File with a hex editor (e.g. "Okteta" on Linux
KDE) and look for data bytes reading like:

     <digiKam:TagsList> <rdf:Seq> <rdf:li>People/Jon</rdf:li> <rdf:li>...

This is a bit more technical, but you can see, whether you tag info is written
to the image or not.


3) If you have another computer with digiKam installed, copy the image to this
computer and look if the tags show up in this digiKam installation.
