[digiKam-users] More fighting with DigiKam

[Rob Dueckman]

James, do you have the slash "/" in the tag you are trying to add?  If
so, maybe try it without the slash.  Like others, I have tagged
thousands of photos with no issues.  I even live dangerously and write
all metadata back to the original files (not .xmp's) without any issues
(so far).
