Tag problem

[Maik Qualmann]

Check the metadata settings in the digiKam setup on all digiKam instances to 
see whether they are identical. Reset the extended metadata settings for all 
digiKam instances to the default settings, either for each section (captions, 
tags...) individually or load the digikam profile. Use at least digiKam-8.3.0 
on all instances.
