[digiKam-users] Tags written by Gimp not read by digiKam

[Maik Qualmann]

The list in the advanced metadata is checked in order. Therefore, the order 
can also be changed. At the first entry where tags are found, the search is 
aborted and these tags are used. The problem with external programs that 
change tags is that they often only change a specific metadata tag. If tags 
have already been set in the image, digiKam can already find tags before the 
tag changed by the external program is checked. So either the tag that is 
known to be changed from the external program move to first position. Or 
activate the new option to merge all possible tags metadata fields.
