tags not visible

[Maik Qualmann]

frederic,

thanks for the sample images.
I can reproduce it with digiKam-8.0.0, the file P5240081_DxO-3.jpg has no color 
label or tags. The problem no longer occurs with digiKam-8.1.0.
The cause is that Exiv2 generates a warning in the Olympus metadata. In such a 
case, the metadata is automatically read with ExifTool since digiKam-8.0.0. 
Here's a bug that's already fixed in digiKam-8.1.0. Use the Windows version 
from here:
