[digiKam-users] Metadata missing after moving images between albums

[WuliNuChem]

Thank you for this information! Rereading the metadata fixed the issue
which was my main concern. I will download the latest version. If the loss
of db metadata still exists I will follow the bug notification process.

Thanks again,

Gord
