I see. Thanks for the explanation.

Queue as created by Batch Queue Manager.

But no matter what group a photo is in it should be displayed when one
of its tags is clicked in the left panel, right? In my case they do not
display. And no new group was created so far as I can see. When I use a
file manager I can see that the files still exist, and I can even
display them with Linux Mint Mate Xviewer, but they do not display in
Digikam5. What must I do to make them display again?

The Batch Queue Manager chapter of the documentation is blank. So,
experimenting or asking on this forum seems to be the only way to learn,
though a little painful. Thanks for responding.

By the way, Digikam5 is impressive. I like it. It is the fastest way to
tag photos I've found.
